This document discusses using SpecFlow to write acceptance criteria and tests for a project called GQ OSCA. It provides context on the project, describes how acceptance testing evolved. It then gives examples of acceptance criteria and SpecFlow scenarios to test creating a new window for academic assessment material. It discusses challenges with writing acceptance tests and references resources for further information on Gherkin, Cucumber and SpecFlow.
