There’s a very nice framework called Stormwind.Accuracy that does Acceptance Tests using BDD for .Net, while at the same time doing browser automation.

You can learn more at http://using.stormwindproject.org:8081/display/accuracy/Home. This is an open source project with a VERY wide license.

It’s under active development and we invite community contributions.

Cheers,

There is indeed, and nobody's arguing with that (although some people might argue about whether it was Mike who formulated it, or just promoted it in his excellent book, but I digress...)

What this is about is the details of the user story, the various scenarios or acceptance criteria that need to be satisfied in order for the story to be complete. It's what Mike would call the 'conditions of satisfaction'. Rather than just writing them down, Dan is proposing a template that can be used to make them executable.

I'd take a look at this essay on Dan's website which explains it really well.

Isn’t there already widely accepted format for user stories as formulated by Mike Cohn.
Instead of: Given .. When .. Then ..
You have: As a (role) I want (something) so that (benefit).
