Introduction to SpecSync for Azure DevOps

Many teams being currently in a transformation process towards using agile and BDD have to face the problem that the new specification artifacts and reports have to be integrated into the existing tool chain. Many of such teams use Azure DevOps-full where the concept of Test Cases and Test Runs can be used to represent and trace the testing activities.

SpecSync for Azure DevOps integrates the BDD process with Azure DevOps by connecting and synchronizing the BDD scenarios with Test Cases and by publishing test execution results to Azure DevOps in a way that the test result remains connected to the related Test Case. With this the development and testing activities remain transparent and traceable for all stakeholders in Azure DevOps.

SpecSync supports any tool that uses the Gherkin language for describing the BDD scenarios, for example SpecFlow, Reqnroll or Cucumber (see more details in the page).

SpecSync helps people to stay in sync with Azure DevOps and Jira since 2016 and by now it is used by many organizations around the globe.

Your Data in Your Hands

SpecSync makes direct connection between the machine that runs SpecSync and the remote Azure DevOps or Jira server. The scenario or Test Case data is not transferred to or processed by premises of Spec Solutions.
