java.lang.Object
com.tngtech.jgiven.base.StageBase<SELF>
Type Parameters:
SELF - the type of the subclass
Direct Known Subclasses:
Etapa, Etape, Fase, Stage, Stufe
public class StageBase<SELF extends StageBase<?>> extends 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.
