In their own words
Reqnroll
Reqnroll is an open-source.NET framework for turning behavior specifications into automated tests. Teams write executable scenarios in Gherkin’s Given-When-Then format to check whether software meets stated requirements. It supports full Gherkin, including tagged Rule blocks, and step definitions written with regular expressions or Cucumber Expressions; asynchronous steps and hooks are supported. Scenarios can run with NUnit, MsTest, TUnit, or xUnit, including xUnit v3. Reqnroll runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and documents.NET Framework 4.6.2 and newer listed versions through.NET 10.0; frameworks before.NET 8 are outside Microsoft support. It is distributed as NuGet packages and documents integrations for Visual Studio, Rider, and Visual Studio Code, though an IDE is not required. The Visual Studio extension adds Gherkin editing tools, navigation, and code snippet generation. Reqnroll is based on the SpecFlow codebase, is compatible with SpecFlow, and has a migration guide. Community use is free; Professional is billed at €400 per 10 users per year, excluding VAT.
