I actually prefer to keep these separate: Given I am logged in as Fred When I log in as Fred And then have each call out to a helper method named login_as(name). This reduces the duplication in the code in the steps, but allows me to be consistent about the distinctions I make between how Givens and Thens are expressed. WDYT?
