OSS Power-Ups: SpecFlow – Webinar Recording
The recording of our webinar, OSS Power-Ups: SpecFlow, with Andreas Willich, is now available. Subscribe to our community newsletter to receive notifications about future webinars.
This is the fifth episode of our series of OSS Power-Ups, where we put a spotlight on open-source .NET projects. SpecFlow is a tool to bring Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) to .NET by providing a mechanism that turns specifications into executable code. Andreas Willich, the Community Manager and long-time maintainer of SpecFlow, will help us get started with BDD and SpecFlow. We will have a look at how to write your first scenarios for applications and automate them with various different other .NET libraries, like RestSharp, Selenium, or FluentAssertions. During the demo, we will use the brand-new SpecFlow plugin for Rider, which brings code-completion, navigation, syntax- highlighting, and skeleton-code-generation to it.
Sit back and learn how you can empower all stakeholders to work on tests together!
