Write declarative steps that describe business behavior rather than UI mechanics, keep one When/Then pair per scenario, and use third-person present tense throughout. Add a narrative explaining who wants the feature and why, and cover unhappy paths alongside the golden path.
Declarative steps describe what happens at a business level, like "When the user logs in", while imperative steps expose mechanics like filling fields and clicking buttons. Declarative steps survive implementation changes because the mechanics live in step definitions, not the feature file.
Use a Scenario Outline with an Examples table when the same behavior needs testing across meaningfully different inputs, with each row representing a distinct equivalence class. Do not use it to bundle unrelated behaviors, and keep tables under roughly 10 rows.
Skip Background when a feature has only one scenario, since nothing is being deduplicated. Also avoid it for technical setup like starting servers or seeding tables — that belongs in hooks — and never tag a Background.
Brittleness usually comes from imperative steps referencing UI elements, hardcoded expected values that drift when data changes, or scenarios bundling multiple behaviors. Rewrite steps declaratively, assert on rules rather than exact values, and split multi-behavior scenarios.
