    Type-safe YAML integration tests. Tests that write your docs. Tests that rewrite themselves.

  • I like the idea a lot but I felt that the Gherkin language itself was inappropriate for the task for four main reasons:

    * Verbosity

    * Not type safe

    * It doesnt have story abstractions (i.e. you can't flexibly create variations on a story).

    * The use of regexes for parsing

    I created a YAML based alternative with python that I think has all of the benefits and fixes those 4 problems: https://hitchdev.com/hitchstory

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
