SpecFlow+

What is SpecFlow+

SpecFlow+ is a set of extensions that help you get the most out of SpecFlow:

SpecFlow+ Runner is a smarter test runner for SpecFlow. Some of the key benefits include:

Run the same test in multiple environments (same test with different browsers/different architecture)
Execute tests in parallel using different isolation options
Transform configuration files for different environments and threads (e.g. a different database instance per thread)
Output test execution results reports in a variety of formats (HTML, XML, JSON) and customise these reports

SpecFlow+ Excel makes it easier to collaborate with business stakeholders, and allows you to write Gherkin specifications and/or examples directly in Excel.

You can include formulas in your specifications, as well as use Excel’s formatting features to lay your specifications out clearly.

Note: SpecFlow+ Excel is currently not compatible with SpecFlow 3 and .NET Core. It is only compatible with SpecFlow 2.4 or earlier.

SpecFlow+ LivingDoc

Currently in Beta, SpecFlow+ Living Doc provides your team with access to your Gherkin directly within TFS/VSTS. Easily share your specifications with your whole team specifications without the need for Visual Studio.

A single SpecFlow+ license key unlocks all SpecFlow+ components.
