Why You Should Export BDD Cases to Feature File
On AIO Tests, users can export the BDD/Gherkin-based tests to feature files in an organized way as per their requirements to access the up-to-date test case details offline. Here are some of the reasons why you should export the BDD cases to the feature file.
Offline review of test reports: By exporting BDD cases to feature files, testers can review test reports offline. It provides testers flexibility to work independently in situations where internet connectivity is poor or unreliable.
Share with unauthorized users: Exporting and downloading BDD cases to feature files enables testers to share test reports with stakeholders who do not have access to AIO Tests. It not only expands the reach to share testing insights with a broader audience but also fosters better communication with team members who may not be involved in the testing process.
Transfer test files across different systems: One of the major benefits of exporting BDD cases to feature files is that it allows you to transfer your test case information to your new device without risking data loss.
