I'm trying to find out best practices for a multi-view scenario.
Take the classic example of ecommerce, where you might first enter
address information, then credit card information, then confirm it
all and the purchase is made.
Seems to me this has to be done with a separate scenario for each
view?
The whole process would be:
Scenario: I purchase a widget by paying for it with a credit card
Given I am logged in as Sheila
And I have a widget in my cart that costs $5
When I press "Checkout"
And enter my address information
And press "OK"
And enter my credit card information
And press "OK"
And press "OK"
Then my credit card balance should be reduced by $5
And I have a completed transaction in my order history
But that seems really really wrong. So I assume it needs to be like
this?
Scenario: I purchase a widget by entering my address information
Given I am logged in as Sheila
And I have a widget in my cart that costs $5
When I press "Checkout"
And enter complete address information
And press "OK"
Then I do not get an error message
And I am on the "credit card information" page
Scenario: I purchase a widget by entering my credit card information
Given I am logged in as Sheila
And I have a widget in my cart that costs $5
And I am on the "credit card information page"
When I enter valid credit card information
And press OK"
Then I do not get an error message
And I am on the "confirm purchase" page
...etc...
Yes? No? Examples?
This is a common question. See http://www.benmabey.com/2008/05/19/imperative-vs-declarative-scenarios-in-user-stories/
