for quicker runs, e2e fixures could be used for more battle hardening.
A PoC is in progress for `x/gov` unit tests demonstrating BDD, helping to determine if
BDD feature tests are recommended when building up illustrative and journey scenarios.
A PoC `x/gov` was completed in PR [#12847](https://github.com/cosmos/cosmos-sdk/pull/12847)
is in progress for unit tests demonstrating BDD.
Observing that a strength of BDD specifications is their readability, and a con is the
cognitive load while writing and maintaining, current consensus is to reserve BDD use
for places in the SDK where complex rules and module interactions are demonstrated.
More straightforward or low level test cases will continue to rely on go table tests.
Levels are network mocking in integration and e2e tests are still being worked on and formalized.
