feature_1.feature

@feature_1
Feature: Feature one

	Scenario: A 
		Given a step in A
		When an action in A
		Then the expected outcome is X

	Scenario Outline: B
		Given a step in C
		When an action in B
		Then the outline's expected outcome is <result>
		
		Examples:
		| result |
		| Y      |
		| W      |

feature_2.feature

Feature: Feature 2

	@feature_2
	Scenario: C
		Given a step in C
		When an action in C
		Then the expected outcome is Z
