LightBDD

LightBDD is a free, open-source behavior-driven development framework for writing readable tests and tracking execution locally. Scenarios support parameterized steps, inline and tabular parameters, and shared context. The framework records step progress and execution time and supports asynchronous scenarios and steps. It generates feature reports in HTML, XML, or plain text. Listed integrations include NUnit, xUnit 2 and 3, Microsoft Test Framework, Fixie, and TUnit, while dependency-injection containers are supported. A Visual Studio extension supplies project and feature-class templates plus snippets for scenarios and composite steps. The Quick Start organizes acceptance tests as partial feature classes, separating scenario definitions from step implementations. Packages are distributed through NuGet. Listed runtime support includes .NET 5+, .NET Framework, .NET Standard, .NET Core, and UWP. LightBDD runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows under the BSD 2-Clause License. The project wiki and NuGet debug symbols provide support and diagnostics resources. A community project can synchronize LightBDD scenarios with Azure DevOps test cases.
