BDDX
Białystok, Poland
What it is
BDDX creates and runs Behavior-Driven Development tests written in Cucumber's Gherkin plain-text language, then summarizes failures. Users can upload multiple test files and run them line by line, pausing and resuming a bulk run from a checkpoint. Its documented workflow links a cloud BDDX project and API key with the CLI: tests run from a repository and results are uploaded to the cloud. The CLI installation command is `npm i bddx`. Documentation describes creating Jira tasks and GitHub or GitLab issues for detected defects; failed tests can also trigger automatic Jira task creation. BDDX is a web product with browser testing, API access and both execution modes. The free Start plan allows up to 50 runs per month. Grow costs $9.99 a month for 51–250 runs, and Accelerate costs $14.99 a month for 251–500 runs. Scale has unlimited runs at 0.03$ per run, with no plan price listed. The documentation says email and Jira API token credentials are stored locally on the machine.
