Can I use background with scenario outline?
Compared to keeping the common steps in scenario outlines, the background section is easier to modify but more difficult to read. People have to remember the contents of the background section when reading individual scenario outlines. For short feature files this is not an issue.
What is background in gherkin?
A Background allows you to add some context to the scenarios that follow it. It can contain one or more Given steps, which are run before each scenario, but after any Before hooks. A Background is placed before the first Scenario / Example , at the same level of indentation.
Does background run before scenario?
A Background is run before each scenario, but after any Before hooks. In a feature file, we should add the Background before the first Scenario. Occasionally we'll find ourselves repeating the same Given steps in all of the scenarios in a feature.
