Living Documentation practice test

Living Documentation refers to the up-to-date, accurate, and executable documentation generated as a result of the BDD process. This documentation is derived from the executable specifications, which are written based on user stories, examples, and acceptance criteria, and are continuously updated throughout the development process. Living Documentation serves as a single source of truth for the understanding of the system behavior, requirements, and test results. It makes it easier for stakeholders to collaborate, share knowledge, and ensure that everyone has a clear and consistent understanding of the desired functionality. Living Documentation also helps streamline the development process and improve software quality, by acting as a reference point for developers, testers, and other team members involved in the project.
