Example of Cucumber Tests with a world object to manage state.

• Important Notes

  • since you can't have multiple world objects, you typically create a flexible world object that has optional properties for all items in all features you are testing.
  • Each test is run in an sandboxed area, so you will never have state bleed between tests. and each test gets a new clean world object at the start.
