Consensus helps building and maintaining software by describing the expected behavior. It focuses on the high level expectations rather then low level details encouraging a wider participation from stakeholders, collaborators, and developers.
It aims to provide a platform for creating a project as an Epic and instead of tickets/stories/tasks
as the traditional tracking systems do, it focuses on the expected behavior using the Gherkin language. Ticket/stories/tasks become Features, Scenarios and Steps.
Each Feature, Scenario, or Step should be small and focuses on one thing and encourages many smaller Features, Scenarios or Steps.
Developers will then pull down the Features, Scenarios or Steps via the API and they will code their applications against the expected behavior and uploading the test results. These results can be used for indicating progress and completion.
