Instructions

Standard python setup

• Create virtual environment or let IDE set it up
• Run "pip install -r requirements.txt"
• Run "behave" to see example scenarios run and results in console
• Create new feature or add to existing feature, run "behave", see the tests fail
  • Update step definitions and then update production code to get tests to pass

Future
