How do you know what's it supposed to do, if no one actually wrote that down, other than

As a person.
I would like it to work
So i can do the things.

To be fair, at least that's something...

Or maybe for testing the documentation is the code. The code does this, write a test that accepts it does this.

I like the concept of describing things in scenarios and having data objects embedded in the scenarios. I think gherkin if a bit too restrictive, the same way user stories are, but a more natural verbose scenario that was parameterised with variables tied to actual data makes it explicit what is supposed to happen and what data the system will consume, create or manipulate.

E: there is of course other types of documentation available
