Gherkin is a domain-specific language used to define test cases in a human-readable format, primarily for behavior-driven development (BDD). It allows stakeholders, including non-technical team members, to understand and contribute to software specifications. Gherkin uses keywords like "Feature", "Scenario", "Given", "When", "Then", "And", and "But" to structure test scenarios.
