+# BDD Testing Guide for DanceLessonsCoach
+
+This guide explains how to work with BDD tests using Godog in the DanceLessonsCoach project.
+
+## Installation
+
+### Modern Go Approach (Recommended)
+
+The idiomatic and modern way to install Godog for developers joining the project:
+
+```bash
+# Install Godog as a Go tool (recommended approach)
+go install github.com/cucumber/godog/cmd/godog@latest
+```
+
+This installs the `godog` binary in your `$GOPATH/bin` directory. Make sure this directory is in your `PATH`.
+
+### Alternative: Using go run
+
+You can also run Godog directly without installing:
+
+```bash
+go run github.com/cucumber/godog/cmd/godog@latest
+```
+
+### Project Setup
+
+The project already includes Godog as a dependency in `go.mod`. The BDD tests are integrated into the standard Go testing framework.
+
+## Running BDD Tests
+
+### Run All BDD Tests
+
+```bash
+# From project root
+cd /Users/gabrielradureau/Work/Vibe/DanceLessonsCoach
+go test ./features/... -v
+```
+
+### Run Specific Feature
+
+```bash
+# Run only greet feature
+go test ./features/... -v -run "TestBDD/Greet"
+
+# Run only health feature
+go test ./features/... -v -run "TestBDD/Health"
+
+# Run only readiness feature
+go test ./features/... -v -run "TestBDD/Readiness"
+```
+
+### Different Output Formats
+
+```bash
+# Progress format (default)
+go test ./features/... -v
+
+# Pretty format
+go test ./features/... -v -godog.format=pretty
+
+# JSON format
+go test ./features/... -v -godog.format=json
+
+# HTML report
+go test ./features/... -v -godog.format=html > report.html
+```
+
+## Project Structure
+
+```
+features/
+├── bdd_test.go           # Main test entry point
+├── greet.feature         # Greet service feature
+└── health.feature        # Health endpoint feature
+
+pkg/bdd/
+├── steps/                # Step definitions
+│   └── steps.go          # All step definitions
+│
+├── testserver/          # Test infrastructure
+│   ├── server.go         # Test server management
+│   └── client.go         # HTTP client for testing
+│
+├── suite.go             # Test suite initialization
+└── README.md            # BDD usage guide
+```
+
+## Writing New Features
+
+### 1. Create Feature File
+
+Create a new `.feature` file in the `features/` directory using Gherkin syntax:
+
+```gherkin
+# features/new_feature.feature
+Feature: New Feature
+  Description of the new feature
+
+  Scenario: Happy path
+    Given some precondition
+    When I perform an action
+    Then I should see the expected result
+```
+
+### 2. Implement Step Definitions
+
+Create a corresponding step definition file in `pkg/bdd/steps/`:
+
+```go
+// pkg/bdd/steps/new_feature_steps.go
+package steps
+
+import (
+    "DanceLessonsCoach/pkg/bdd/testserver"
+    "github.com/cucumber/godog"
+)
+
+func InitializeNewFeatureSteps(ctx *godog.ScenarioContext, client *testserver.Client) {
+    ctx.Step(`^some precondition$`, func() error {
+        // Implementation
+        return nil
+    })
+
+    ctx.Step(`^I perform an action$`, func() error {
+        // Implementation
+        return nil
+    })
+
+    ctx.Step(`^I should see the expected result$`, func() error {
+        // Implementation
+        return nil
+    })
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Register Steps
+
+Add your step initialization to `pkg/bdd/suite.go`:
+
+```go
+func InitializeScenario(ctx *godog.ScenarioContext) {
+    server := testserver.NewServer()
+    client := testserver.NewClient(server)
+
+    // Initialize all steps using the unified approach
+    steps.InitializeAllSteps(ctx, client)
+
+    // ... cleanup code
+}
+```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+### Test Organization
+
+- **One feature per file**: Keep feature files focused on a single capability
+- **Clear scenario names**: Use descriptive scenario names that explain the behavior
+- **Reusable steps**: Create reusable step definitions when possible
+- **Black box testing**: Test through public APIs only, no internal knowledge
+
+### Performance
+
+- **Parallel execution**: Godog supports parallel scenario execution
+- **Isolated scenarios**: Each scenario should be independent
+- **Cleanup**: Always cleanup resources in `After` hooks
+
+### Debugging
+
+- **Verbose output**: Use `-v` flag for detailed output
+- **Step-by-step**: Run with `-godog.tags=@focus` to run specific scenarios
+- **Dry run**: Check step definitions without running tests
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Server not starting
+
+If tests fail with "server did not become ready", check:
+- Port conflicts: `lsof -i :8080`
+- Server logs: Check if server process starts properly
+- Configuration: Verify config.yaml settings
+
+### Missing step definitions
+
+If you see "undefined steps", you need to:
+1. Implement the missing step definitions
+2. Register them in the suite initialization
+3. Re-run the tests
+
+### Test isolation issues
+
+Ensure each scenario:
+- Starts with a clean state
+- Doesn't depend on other scenarios
+- Properly cleans up resources
+
+## CI/CD Integration
+
+Add BDD tests to your CI pipeline:
+
+```yaml
+# Example GitHub Actions step
+- name: Run BDD Tests
+  run: go test ./features/... -v
+```
+
+## Additional Resources
+
+- [Godog GitHub](https://github.com/cucumber/godog)
+- [Godog Documentation](https://github.com/cucumber/godog#readme)
+- [Cucumber Documentation](https://cucumber.io/docs/gherkin/)
+- [BDD Introduction](https://dannorth.net/introducing-bdd/)
+
+## Modern Go Testing Practices
+
+The DanceLessonsCoach project follows modern Go testing practices:
+
+1. **Standard library integration**: BDD tests use `go test`
+2. **No global installation required**: Godog is a Go module dependency
+3. **Cross-platform**: Works on all Go-supported platforms
+4. **IDE integration**: Works with Go tools and IDEs
+5. **Dependency management**: Versioned through go.mod
+
+This approach ensures that:
+- All developers use the same Godog version
+- No manual installation steps are needed
+- Tests work consistently across environments
+- CI/CD integration is straightforward
