Class StageBase<SELF extends StageBase<?>>

  • Type Parameters:
    SELF - the type of the subclass
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    Etapa, Etape, Fase, Stage, Stufe
    public class StageBase<SELF extends StageBase<?>>
extends java.lang.Object
    Useful base class for step definitions as it provides a self() method to create fluent interfaces.

    Direct subclasses should provide introduction words (see IntroWord).

    Typically one derives from one of the language-specific step definition classes, which already provide a handful of useful introduction words.
