  Test data in behavior driven development
  
  I read the bellow paragraph in an Acceptance test driven development master thesis. Is it right? If it is not, how we can use test data in BDD ?
  **
  The chapter proceeds with description of the main problem of BDD – it doesn’t suite any kind of software.BDD emphasizes behaviour and abstracts away test data to make tests look simple and readable.However, behaviour is not the only property making software complex. For
  example, financial software has high amount of important data needed to be also
  accessible by users of testing frameworks. The principle of abstracting such data
  away doesn’t serve the purpose of a tool for improving communication between
  stakeholders.**
  
  A:
  
  This statement is false.
  There is nothing preventing one from using test data in the behaviour tests, integration tests or acceptance tests. For a quick sample see Beyond the basics with Specflow and SpecFlow Assist Helpers  on github.
