Since davmon introduced us to Gherkin he also introduced us to the concept that there should be only one given-when-then in each test. It does not make any technical difference, is only a principle.
Here is a short example from course/tests/behat/course_search.feature
Then I should see "Successfully moved 2 courses into Science"
|
And I wait to be redirected
|
And I click on category "Science" in the management interface
|
And I should see "Biology Y1"
|
And I should see "Biology Y2"
|
All those 'And' are a bit weird.. and it might be nicer to read if it was:
Then I should see "Successfully moved 2 courses into Science"
|
And I wait to be redirected
|
When I click on category "Science" in the management interface
|
Then I should see "Biology Y1"
|
And I should see "Biology Y2"

This comes from industry best practice:
http://docs.behat.org/en/latest/guides/1.gherkin.html
https://github.com/cucumber/cucumber/wiki/Given-When-Then
http://guide.agilealliance.org/guide/gwt.html
But its caused a lot of controversy - search the tracker and chat-logs and you will see practically every developer has hit against this.
Should we stick by this way?
