Method Summary

Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`void`	`assumptionViolated(String message)`
`void`	`exampleFinished()` An example has finished.

`void`	`lastStepFailed(StepFailure failure)` Declare that a step has failed after it has finished.
`void`	`notifyScreenChange()`
`void`	`skippedStepStarted(ExecutedStepDescription description)` Called when a test step is about to be started, but this step is scheduled to be skipped.
`void`	`stepFailed(StepFailure failure)` Called when a test step fails.

`void`	`testSuiteStarted(Class<?> storyClass)` Start a test run using a test case or a user story.
`void`	`testSuiteStarted(Story story)` Start a test run using a specific story, without a corresponding Java class.
`void`	`useExamplesFrom(DataTable table)` The current scenario is a data-driven scenario using test data from the specified table.

- Method Detail
  - testSuiteStarted
```
void testSuiteStarted(Class<?> storyClass)
```
    Start a test run using a test case or a user story. For JUnit tests, the test case should be provided. The test case should be annotated with the Story annotation to indicate what user story it tests. Otherwise, the test case itself will be treated as a user story. For easyb stories, the story class can be provided directly.
  - testSuiteStarted
```
void testSuiteStarted(Story story)
```
    Start a test run using a specific story, without a corresponding Java class.
  - testSuiteFinished
```
void testSuiteFinished()
```
    End of a test case or story.
  - testStarted
```
void testStarted(String description)
```
    A test with a given name has started.
  - testFinished
```
void testFinished(TestOutcome result)
```
    Called when a test finishes.
  - testRetried
```
void testRetried()
```
    The last test run is about to be restarted
  - stepStarted
```
void stepStarted(ExecutedStepDescription description)
```
    Called when a test step is about to be started.
    
    Parameters:
    description - the description of the test that is about to be run (generally a class and method name)
  - skippedStepStarted
```
void skippedStepStarted(ExecutedStepDescription description)
```
    Called when a test step is about to be started, but this step is scheduled to be skipped.
    
    Parameters:
    description - the description of the test that is about to be run (generally a class and method name)
  - stepFailed
```
void stepFailed(StepFailure failure)
```
    Called when a test step fails.
    
    Parameters:
    failure - describes the test that failed and the exception that was thrown
  - lastStepFailed
```
void lastStepFailed(StepFailure failure)
```
    Declare that a step has failed after it has finished.
  - stepIgnored
```
void stepIgnored()
```
    Called when a step will not be run, generally because a test method is annotated with Ignore.
  - stepPending
```
void stepPending()
```
    The step is marked as pending.
  - stepPending
```
void stepPending(String message)
```
    The step is marked as pending with a descriptive message.
    
    Parameters:
    message -
  - stepFinished
```
void stepFinished()
```
    Called when an test step has finished successfully
  - testFailed
```
void testFailed(TestOutcome testOutcome,
              Throwable cause)
```
    The test failed, but not while executing a step.
    
    Parameters:
    testOutcome - The test outcome structure for the failing test
    cause - The exception that triggered the failure
  - testIgnored
```
void testIgnored()
```
    The test as a whole was skipped or ignored.
  - notifyScreenChange
```
void notifyScreenChange()
```
  - useExamplesFrom
```

```
    The current scenario is a data-driven scenario using test data from the specified table.
  - exampleStarted
```
void exampleStarted(Map<String,String> data)
```
    A new example has just started.
  - exampleFinished
