Writing Business-Facing Acceptance Tests with Canopy
summary
Describes using the F# DSL Canopy (built on WebDriver) to write business‑readable, executable acceptance tests. Shows runnable scenarios such as automating a GitHub pull‑request flow, a GitHub starter kit with examples, multi‑browser sessions, selector heuristics (text/label/CSS), Appium/desktop support, and a debug mode with visual highlighting and slow playback. Emphasizes a pure‑code toolchain rather than an interpreted Gherkin layer.
