What is BDD SpecFlow?
SpecFlow is a BDD framework for . NET which boosts your productivity by helping you with writing your feature files and automation code in your favorite IDE using C# and . NET methods.
When do you use SpecFlow?
Specflow will be used to allow writing your test cases in the easy to understand Gherkin Syntax (Given-When-Then).
Are tags supported in SpecFlow?
Tags. Tags are markers that can be assigned to features and scenarios. Assigning a tag to a feature is equivalent to assigning the tag to all scenarios in the feature file. If supported by the unit test framework, SpecFlow generates categories from the tags.
Why do we use SpecFlow?
SpecFlow helps to define, manage, and automatically execute human-readable tests in . NET projects. It facilitates collaboration between all business stakeholders. SpecFlow uses simple English language and acts as a bridge between business and technical languages.

What is BDD and why is it important for acceptance testing?
The core of the BDD process is the ‘User Stories’ and the developers have to first write the user story. These user stories are used for documentation of the feature, triggering, and automating acceptance tests. This makes BDD extremely useful for Acceptance Tests.
What is the difference between TDD and BDD in software testing?
TDD is a programming practice where developers write code only if the automation tests have failed. BDD is about having conversations and discussions between the different teams in the project so that all of them share an understanding of the feature requirements.
What is behavior driven development (BDD)?
These are the broad sub-topics covered as a part of this SpecFlow tutorial: Behavior Driven Development (BDD) is sort of an extension of TDD (Test Driven Development). TDD is a programming practice where developers write code only if the automation tests have failed.
