Step Definition Implementation for Order Processing

Problem/Feature Description

A development team has written comprehensive Gherkin scenarios for their order processing system, but they need to implement the corresponding step definitions. The scenarios were created collaboratively with business stakeholders and use natural business language that needs to be translated into executable code.

The challenge is to create step definitions that maintain the business meaning while implementing the actual test logic. The team wants to ensure that future changes to the underlying system implementation won't break the scenarios, and that the step definitions can be reused across similar scenarios.

Output Specification

Create the following deliverables:

1. step-definitions.js - Implementation of step definitions for the provided scenarios
2. implementation-notes.md - Documentation of your approach and design decisions
3. reusability-analysis.md - Analysis of how steps can be reused across scenarios

Input Files

The following files are provided as inputs. Extract them before beginning.

=============== FILE: inputs/features/order-processing.feature =============== Feature: Order Processing

Scenario: Process standard order Given a customer has items in their cart When they complete the checkout process Then the order should be confirmed And payment should be processed And inventory should be updated

Scenario: Handle insufficient inventory Given a customer selects an out-of-stock item When they attempt to complete checkout Then they should see an inventory warning And the order should not be processed

Scenario: Process expedited shipping Given a customer selects expedited shipping When they complete checkout with valid payment Then the order should be marked for priority processing And shipping should be scheduled within 24 hours

=============== FILE: inputs/existing-steps.js =============== const { Given, When, Then } = require('@cucumber/cucumber');

// Example of existing step that should NOT be replicated Given('I click the submit button and validate the form', function() { // This is BAD - too implementation specific });
