INTRODUCTION

       This short document exists to give you an idea how the different components of this distribution fit together.

MODELS

       The core of a Cucumber-based test suite are the feature files and the step definitions files. By convention, these are saved under
       "/features/" and "/features/step_definitions/" respectively.

       The feature files are encapsulated by the classes in "Test::BDD::Cucumber::Model".

EXECUTOR

       We build up a Test::BDD::Executor object, in to which we load the step definitions. We then pass this in a Test::BDD::Model::Feature
       object, along with a Test::BDD::Model::Harness object, which controls interaction with the outside world.
