Behat Test Suite custom step definitions

Behat - along with the Drupal Extension - provides a powerful and useful framework for automated front-end and back-end testing of a Drupal-based web site.

The following code snippets present some additional step definitions I wrote to maximize what kinds of tests Behat can perform. These features leverage the Behat Chrome Extension and Chrome Mink Driver, by Dorian More.
