What it is

BDDX creates and runs Behavior-Driven Development tests written in Cucumber’s Gherkin plain-text language, then summarizes test failures and their causes. Users can upload test files in bulk and run them line by line, pausing and resuming a bulk run from a checkpoint. The documented workflow connects a cloud BDDX project and API key with the CLI: the CLI runs tests in a repository and uploads results to the cloud. Its installation command is `npm i bddx`. Documentation describes creating Jira tasks and GitHub or GitLab issues from detected defects, and Jira tasks can be created automatically for failed tests. BDDX is a web product with browser testing, API access, Gherkin support, and both execution modes. The Start plan is free for up to 50 runs per month. Grow costs $9.99 a month for 51–250 runs, and Accelerate costs $14.99 a month for 251–500 runs. Scale has no listed plan price, with unlimited runs at 0.03$ per run. Email and Jira API token credentials are saved locally on the machine.
