Anatomy of a Cucumber test suite

features/                  # Base directory for all your features
features/step_definitions/ # Generic steps used across multiple features
features/support/          # Cucumber bootstrapping directory

On boot, Cucumber will load up features/support/env.rb. This is where you should include all the libraries you want to use. So features/support/env.rb doesn't get cluttered, it's suggested you split out your customisations into
