Linking user stories and scenarios

One of the key features of AssertThat - BDD & Cucumber for Jira is that the BDD scenarios and user stories are available in one place.  The BDD scenarios are presented alongside the user story in a format which makes it easy for the product owner, development and test teams to easily collaborate and develop the user story.

AssertThat - BDD & Cucumber for Jira presents all the feature files and scenarios in one place under the features menu.  The BDD scenarios can be linked to the user story, updated or new scenarios added from within the user story.

Scenarios can be developed either from within the Features Menu, or by adding Scenarios to feature files from within the User story.
