Pure reference catalog of test-step design patterns at the architecture tier - step granularity (one logical action per step), abstraction layers (mechanical → page → business), step extraction rules (when to inline / when to extract to a helper / when to extract to a Page Object method), the declarative-vs-imperative phrasing rule, FIRST principles (Fast / Independent / Repeatable / Self-validating / Timely), and the AAA / Given-When-Then mapping. This is the cross-framework architecture-tier reference for what a step IS, when it should exist, and where it should live - not file-level AAA style rules and not Gherkin-specific translation. Use when designing or reviewing the step layer of a test framework - for example when writing or reviewing E2E or integration tests, when the step count per test is high, or when refactoring recorded or codegen test output into readable steps.
