Hi all,

I have been putting off writing test cases for a while in my current role. However, the need has arisen now for two reasons:

1. So that a new member of support staff can follow the test cases and help with regression

I decided on gherkin as we used it somewhat loosely in a previous role. However, it seems my memory of it is pretty vague. I have done some reading online, including a helpful helpful guide that was recommended here: [BDD | Automation Panda](https://automationpanda.com/bdd/)

My company is very good about training so if anyone knows of a good online course, especially one that focuses on getting the language side right, then I would love to hear about it.

Hey @gruiformes I got a friend who’s using WebdriverIo with Cucumber and he praises this course:
