base_url: http://automationpractice.comdefault: All configuration parameters in behat.yml file are defined under a profile name default. All other profiles inherit parameters from the default profile. If you only need one profile, define all of your parameters under the default.
suites: With suites you can configure Behat to test different kinds of features using different kinds of contexts and doing so in one run.
paths: Parameters under this configuration block tell Behat where to find your feature and bootstrap files:
- features: The features parameter defines where Behat will look for your *.feature files. The given directory will be scanned recursively.
- bootstrap: The bootstrap parameter defines the directory from which Behat will automatically load all *.php files.
contexts: You can define multiple context. Here we are using Mink to use the mink default functions.
extension: The extensions block allows you to activate extensions for your suite or for specific profile of the suite:
