Getting Started
For a brief description of the startup tasks and recently added new features, check out the SpecFlow website first:
http://www.specflow.org
This page contains a detailed description of the possibilities.
SpecFlow consists of three parts:
- The IDE Integration that provides customized editor and test generation functions in your development environment, like Visual Studio 2012.
- The generator that can turn the Gherkin specifications into executable test classes.
- The runtime that is required for executing the generated tests. There are different runtime assemblies compiled for the different target platforms (.NET, Silverlight, Windows Phone).
The installation of the IDE Intergation packages depends on the IDE you use. For Visual Studio 2012 and 2010, the easiest way is to search for "SpecFlow" in the extension manager (Extensions and Updates in VS2012) online search. For other IDE integrations and for the direct download links, check the Install IDE Installation page.
The generator and the runtime is usually installed together per project. The easiest and most convenient way to install these is to use our NuGet package: [[SpecFlow|http://www.nuget.org/packages/SpecFlow]] or one of the specific helper packages. For a detailed project setup guide, check the Setup SpecFlow Projects page.
The Project Setup Guide on our website provides a basic introduction to SpecFlow.
The Resources for Getting Started page contains other resources that might be interesting.
Finally you can check the Documentation for detailed concepts and reference.
