Scenario consist of meta-data and sequence of steps to represents a single test case. Each step can be started with standard BDD keywords [Given | When | Then | And | Having]. Refer list of available keywords.

List of available keywords.
Below are available keywords taht can be used as prefix while calling step in bdd. You can define your own by providing keyword synonym

Want to iterate with set of test data from file? You got it with data-driven Scenario.
References
Data-driven Scenario
You can iterate your scenario with set of test data. Refer make test data driven, any of the @QAFDataProvider property you can set as meta-data. Below example demonstrates data-driven feature
SCENARIO: Data-driven Example
META-DATA: {"dataFile":"resources/data/testdata.csv","description":"Data driven test that uses csv file to provide data"}
Given I am on fruits and colors activity
When i select '${fruit}'
Then the color should be '${color}'
END
Below is csv data file and first row is column names.
testdata.csv
fruit,color
grapes,green
banana,yellow
If you want to use custom TestNG data provider, you need to provide data provider name and class in meta-data.
SCENARIO: Custom Data provider Example
META-DATA: {"dataProvider":"my-custom-dp", "dataProviderClass":"my.project.impl.CustomDataProvider","description":"Data driven test that uses custom data provider"}
Given I am on fruits and colors activity
When i select '${fruit}'
Then the color should be '${color}'
END
