What is Gherkin syntax in Playwright BDD?

Gherkin is a plain-text language used to define software behavior in a way that is readable by both humans and automated testing tools like Playwright BDD.

Can I use this for non-English testing suites?

Yes, the skill supports Gherkin internationalization (i18n) headers for various languages including German, French, and Spanish.

Does it support data-driven testing?

Absolutely. The skill specializes in Scenario Outlines and Example tables to help you run the same test logic with multiple data sets.

How does this skill help with Playwright BDD?

It provides optimized patterns and best practices for writing .feature files that are compatible with the bddgen tool used in Playwright BDD environments.

What are the best practices for Gherkin scenarios?

The skill promotes declarative over imperative steps, meaningful scenario naming, and keeping tests independent to ensure a maintainable test suite.
