behave is behavior-driven development, Python style.

Behavior-driven development (or BDD) is an agile software development
technique that encourages collaboration between developers, QA and
non-technical or business participants in a software project.
behave uses tests written in a natural language style, backed up by Python
code.
First, install *behave*.
Now make a directory called “features/”.
In that directory create a file called “example.feature” containing:
# -- FILE: features/example.feature
Feature: Showing off behave

Scenario: Run a simple test
Given we have behave installed
When we implement 5 tests
Then behave will test them for us!
Make a new directory called “features/steps/”.
In that directory create a file called “example_steps.py” containing:
# -- FILE: features/steps/example_steps.py
from behave import given, when, then, step

@given('we have behave installed')
def step_impl(context):
pass

@when('we implement {number:d} tests')
def step_impl(context, number): # -- NOTE: number is converted into integer
assert number > 1 or number == 0
context.tests_count = number

@then('behave will test them for us!')
def step_impl(context):
assert context.failed is False
assert context.tests_count >= 0
Run behave:
$ behave
Feature: Showin off behave # features/example.feature:2

Scenario: Run a simple test # features/example.feature:4
Given we have behave installed # features/steps/example_steps.py:4
When we implement 5 tests # features/steps/example_steps.py:8
Then behave will test them for us! # features/steps/example_steps.py:13

1 feature passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped
1 scenario passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped
3 steps passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped, 0 undefined
Now, continue reading to learn how to the most of behave. To get started,
we recommend the tutorial and then the feature testing language and
api references.

Testing Domains
Behave and other BDD frameworks allow you to provide step libraries
to reuse step definitions in similar projects that address the same
problem domain.
Support of the following testing domains is currently known:
