SIX new chapters (6 to 11) have been added to the MEAP (Manning Early Access Program) release of our “Effective Behavior-Driven Development" book. They cover Formulation, the practice of turning concrete examples into business-readable specs

Tricentis deleted the #SpecFlow GitHub repo. Beyond unfortunate.

Grateful that reqnroll.net is taking its place. I suggest we all give it some love!

Reqnroll is an open-source Cucumber-style BDD test automation framework for .NET. It has been created as a reboot of the SpecFlow project.

Hahahaha
Na firma, se usa .NET/C#. Eu sou QA, né, então usamos SpecFlow pra automação.

Looks like #SpecFlow is completely gone. GitHub repositories are no longer available. Packages are still available, though. I’m stunned by the irresponsibility demonstrated by the maintainers. Not a word they uttered from the moment the community began to express concern about it. #dotnet

You definitely should! It's actually maintained by the original creator of SpecFlow so I guess that should give some confidence

Yes Reqnroll is the way to go. Same orginal creator. He had to fork and find a new name as SpecFlow was owned by tricentis. The pulled the plug.

Just discovered that SpecFlow actually deleted their docs and the repos. I am flabbergasted

That's the problem they solve - large numbers of repeated tests.

I teach BDD capturing scenarios and examples in a spreadsheet. I don't actually introduce a BDD tool like Cucumber or SpecFlow, because I don't use them. They don't solve any problem I have.

I run my own workflow with pieces of BMAD, SpecFlow, SPDD, and @codewithandrea.com's spec-driven flow.
Haven't tried superpowers myself. Thanks for the recommendation.

Full step-by-step migration guide: https://helpmetest.com/blog/reqnroll-vs-specflow/?utm_source=bluesky&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=reqnroll-vs-specflow

Still running SpecFlow in prod, or already migrated to Reqnroll?
July 31, 2026 at 1:38 PM
SpecFlow was effectively end-of-lifed in 2023 when Tricentis pushed teams toward the commercial SpecFlow+ instead. If you're still on open-source SpecFlow, you're on a framework with no future security patches and no new .NET runtime support. Reqnroll — the community fork — is the migration path.

Would you be interested if I did a series of tweet-sized introductions to automated testing, #tdd, and associated tools (#xunit, #nunit, #specflow, libraries, etc.) for #dotnet?
