title: Patterns for testing the step catalog in Python Behave
body: <p>At my company our Behave step catalog is growing quite rapidly. It's becoming more and more clear that we need tests for the actual steps. E.g. that a certain given step set up data as it is expected to do.</p>
  
  <p>For a BDD framework like Behave it would be nice if the actual framework guided you (or atleast supported you) into writing step implementations in a BDD fashion :-) I can't find anything like that however.</p>
  
  <p>Anyone out there with a nice pattern for testing the actual steps? </p>
