Complicated Set Up Scenarios Within The Tests Themselves
^^^^^
**Definition:**

* Whilst there’s a place for automated end-to-end scenarios (I call these user journies), I prefer most acceptance tests to jump straight to the point.


**Code Example:**

.. code-block:: text

    Scenario: Accept Visa and Mastercard for Australia
    Given I am on the home page for Australia
    And I choose the tea menu
    And I select some 'green tea'
    And I add the tea to my basket
    And I choose to checkout
    Then I should see 'visa' is accepted
    And I should see 'mastercard' is accepted
