Daniel Keir Haywood closed ISIS-563.
------------------------------------
    Resolution: Fixed

I'm closing this because, although it's probably quite easy, I'd rather we had a contribution for it or something tangible to drive its development.

> If the user follows simple conventions when writing BDD tests, some inference can be done from them and a generic Spec Transformer can be used for deriving the Entity from the Gherkin's sentence.
> For example, on the following Glue, instead of capturing only the name of the employee, we can capture (employee with name \"[^\"]*\"):
> @When("The company's (employee with name \"[^\"]*\") has a role assigned")
> From there we know that:
> - The Domain Entity singular name is "employee", and Isis has the ability to derive the singular name form the Entity's class name, or specify it through the Isis "@Named" annotation.
> - We must search an Entity of the previous type by name.
> - The name must be equal to PETER.
> As the Domain Entity singular name must be explicitely used, it also reinforces the "Ubiquitous Language" on those BDD tests.
> We can admit some variants of the previous case, such as:
> - the employee with name "PETER"
> - the employee named "PETER"
> - the property with reference "REF-001"
> - the property referenced "REF-001"
> - the product with id "PR-001"
