• Test Scenario:
  This refers to a distinct instance or situation under the testing lens. It represents a specific set of conditions, complete with steps to be followed during the testing process.
  
  

• Test Case:
  This is a comprehensive specification that delineates the steps, inputs, expected outcomes, and preconditions for a particular test scenario.
  
  

• Gherkin:
  A domain-specific language that transforms software behavior description into a human-readable format. Its specific syntax and structure pave the way for clear and concise test scenario creation.
  
  

• Step:
  A step in a test scenario signifies an action or validation carried out during testing. Steps are composed using Gherkin keywords like Given, When, Then, And, or But.
  
  

• Feature:
  This denotes a functionality or aspect of the software that's being tested. It provides a high-level description of the behavior or capability undergoing testing.
  
  

• Background:
  The background section of a test scenario lays out a set of preconditions or initial steps that apply to several test scenarios within a feature.
  
  

• Scenario:
  A scenario symbolizes a specific test case within a feature. It consists of a sequence of steps defining the interactions and expected outcomes for a situation under test.
  
  

• Scenario Outline:
  Think of a scenario outline as a template that enables the creation of multiple test scenarios by swapping placeholders or variables with specific values.
  
  

• Data Sets:
  These represent input values that can be leveraged within test scenarios to validate different combinations or variations of test conditions.
  
  

• Tags:
  Tags act as labels or markers that can be attached to test scenarios, facilitating easy categorization, filtering, or grouping of related scenarios.
