 ## New Features
 
+* Added possibility to use JGiven in JUnit by just using two rules. No deriving from ScenarioTest is necessary anymore
 * Allow multiple formatter annotations on arguments, e.g., "@Quoted @YesNo", see [#204](https://github.com/TNG/JGiven/issues/204).
 * Added a new comment() method to provide further information on specific step method invocations, see [#50](https://github.com/TNG/JGiven/issues/50).
 * Steps can now have multiple attachments [#194](https://github.com/TNG/JGiven/issues/194).

 The `ScenarioTest` requires 3 type parameters. Each of these type parameters represents a stage of the Given-When-Then notation. Note that there is also the `SimpleScenarioTest` class that only requires a single type parameter. In that case, all your scenario steps are defined in a single class.

+=== Using JUnit Rules directly instead of deriving from ScenarioTest
+Sometimes it is not possible to derive your test class from the `ScenarioTest` class, because you might already have a common base class that you cannot easily modify.
+In that case you can directly use the JUnit Rules of JGiven. Instead of providing your stage classes as type parameters, you inject the stages into the test class with the `@ScenarioStage` annotation.

+[source,java]

+include::{sourcedir}/UsingRulesTest.java[tags=noPackage]
+----
+
+Note that your stage classes have to inherit from the `Stage` class in order to have the `given(), when()`, and `then()` methods. 
+You can now also define convenient methods in your test class to get cleaner scenarios if you like:

+[source,java]

+public GivenSomeState given() {
+    return someStage.given();
+}
