Share your Gherkin feature files

SpecFlow+ LivingDoc is an Azure DevOps and Azure DevOps Server extension for SpecFlow that allows you to access and share your Gherkin feature files directly in Azure DevOps.

Get feedback without the need for Visual Studio

Easily share your automated specifications with different development teams and stakeholders and get feedback without the need for Visual Studio.

Powerful search

Search for titles, descriptions, steps and tags and quickly find a feature file or scenario.

Preview scenarios with test values

Use tables to store different test values that are referenced using placeholders e.g. <"preview"> in Gherkin steps and preview scenarios:

The preview checkbox allows to substitute the placeholders with the values in the corresponding row in the table:

Link work items

Connect your Gherkin Feature files and scenarios with work items in Azure DevOps.

Step 1: Define a work item prefix as “DEVOPS_WI:” in your build step.
Step 2: Add a tag to your feature files including the work item ID.
Step 3: The tag will be converted to a work item link when parsed by SpecFlow+ LivingDoc.

Example:

The feature file tag @DEVOPS_WI:1234 will create a link to work item 1234 in SpecFlow+ LivingDoc.

Embed images

Use markdown to embed images in your feature files and enhance your living documentation. These images will then be displayed when viewing the feature file in Azure DevOps.

Example:

![Alt text](https://www.specflow.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/SpecFlow.png) will display an external image in SpecFlow+ LivingDoc.

Sample Output:

The path to the image can be specified as a relative or absolute path, more examples in our documentation.
