Design Justifications

HitchStory is the result of some carefully considered, although controversial design decisions. These are justified here.

• Declarative User Stories
• Why does hitchstory mandate the use of given but not when and then?
• Why is inheritance a feature of hitchstory stories?
• Why does hitchstory not have an opinion on what counts as interesting to "the business"?
• Why does hitchstory not have a command line interface?
• Principles
• Why does HitchStory have no CLI runner - only a pure python API?
• Why Rewritable Test Driven Development (RTDD)?
• Why does HitchStory use StrictYAML?
