What is python-pytest-bdd
python-pytest-bdd is:
Implements a subset of Gherkin language for the automation of the project requirements testing and easier behavioral driven development.
Unlike many other BDD tools it doesn’t require a separate runner and benefits from the power and flexibility of the pytest. It allows one to unify your unit and functional tests, easier continuous integration server configuration and maximal reuse of the tests setup.
Pytest fixtures written for the unit tests can be reused for the setup and actions mentioned in the feature steps with dependency injection, which allows a true BDD just-enough specification of the requirements without maintaining any context object containing the side effects of the Gherkin imperative declarations.
