+Feature: Connection between DataTable Key and a specific Step Value
+
+
+ Scenario: All Keys are related to a Step Value. Example 1
+ Given the animal "Cat"
+ | Key | Value |
+ | Color | Black |
+ | Lifespan | 3 |
+ | Whiskers | 24 |
+
+ Then the food is "fish"
+
+
+ Scenario: All Keys are related to a Step Value. Example 2
+ Given the animal "Elephant"
+ | Key | Value |
+ | Color | Grey |
+ | Lifespan | 70 |
+ | Trunk | 1.8 |
+ | Tusk | 1.3 |
+
+ Then the food is "leaves"
+
+
+ Scenario: There are some unrelated Keys to a Step Value. This Keys are available for other Step Value
+ Given the animal "Cat"
+ | Key | Value |
+ | Color | Black |
+ | Lifespan | 3 |
+ | Whiskers | 24 |
+ | Trunk | 1.8 |
+
+ Then the food is "fish"
+
+
+ Scenario: There are some unrelated Keys to a Step Value. This Keys are not available for each Step Value
+ Given the animal "Cat"
+ | Key | Value |
+ | Color | Black |
+ | Lifespan | 3 |
+ | Whiskers | 24 |
+ | Wings | 2 |
+
+ Then the food is "fish"
