StorEvil Grammar

StorEvil interprets your plaintext specifications by matching them to methods, fields, and properties on your StorEvil Context Classes.

There are two different ways to interpret sentence fragments using StorEvil : by matching the names of the methods using reflection, or by using regular expressions to parse the text.

Although Regular Expression Matching is supported, Reflection Matching by is the preferred method.

The StorEvil plaintext language is fairly close to the Gherkin language
