What does Pickles do?

Pickles is a Living Documentation generator: it takes your Specification (written in Gherkin, with Markdown descriptions) and turns them into an always up-to-date documentation of the current state of your software - in a variety of formats.

Additionally, you can provide Pickles with the results of your Executable Specification. Pickles will show a pass/fail mark next to each scenario.
