In our company, we need to maintain the scripts of the product daily, and in case of failures, we need to check out the scripts. I would recommend the product to those planning to use it based on both they are planning to build. If you are going for unit testing or small scripts, then you can go with SpecFlow. I don't have much experience with the solution. It is a good and straightforward product. It is also an easy-to-use and user-friendly product that can easily adapt to any framework. I rate the overall solution a seven out of ten.

There should be more integration with the application life cycle management tools, including integration with Jira and Azure DevOps. We used to write our test cases in Microsoft Azure DevOps, which were deployed on-premises. We would write test cases in a classical way and the test data within the test steps of the test case. When we have to write down the problem, we write scenarios in Gherkin and then automate them in Selenium. That said, there is no way to have traceability between the test feature files of this backflow with any work item in TFS, Azure DevOps, or in Jira. We cannot link them. While we can link the code, this feature file or this Selenium file cannot be properly linked. I'd prefer in TFS if we could be writing test cases, not in the old classical version. We should be writing in Gherkin and then automatically have it convert that Gherkin test case into SpecFlow feature files. There is room for improvement in managing the test data related to the test cases.

I use SpecFlow in my framework to add a layer with the English statements to my programming SpecFlow's best feature is the ability to add additional layers to the programming. SpecFlow would be improved with the addition of functionality reporting, which would be really helpful for automation…
