CukeTest vs Reqnroll

CukeTest is a script development IDE for automating tests across web, desktop, mobile, API, and game applications. It combines visual editing with debugging and report generation, including detailed test execution reports. Scripts can use JavaScript with Cucumber or Python with pytest, as well as Node.js and Python packages. Automation methods include control and text recognition, image matching, virtual controls, and simulated mouse and keyboard actions. AI Pilot can generate BDD test cases and test data, analyze reports, and assist with code explanations, refactoring, and comments. For web automation, CukeTest supports libraries including Selenium and Puppeteer; its web engine supports Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. The command-line interface can run and manage test projects for CI/CD pipelines. CukeTest runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS, with macOS 11.6 listed as the minimum Mac version. Mobile testing is listed for Lite, Pro, and Enterprise. Lite is free and includes visual feature editing and JavaScript and Python, but limits automation API calls to 500 and video recording to three minutes. Pro has a 50,000-call limit and unlimited video recording, and is Windows-only. Enterprise lists unlimited API calls and recording, with Windows, Linux, and Mac support.

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.
