Takeaways
- Gherkins are a way to add to user stories and give a full scenario that will help developers and testers understand both the outcome and the output of a particular user interaction.
- User stories are an Agile technique of defining product functionality and requirements. They focus on telling a story for an action a user will take and what the expectation is when successful. They are part of a larger epic that describes the actual problem to be solved and why you’re solving it.
- User stories focus on the user, not the product. On the other hand, gherkins focus on outcomes, not just outputs. Thus, Gherkins are regarded as a better way of writing stories.
