Creating new features files directly in Azure DevOps

[mihaellaiv]

Implementation Idea

Hello all,

I know we can EDIT feature files directly in Azure DevOps, when they are stored in Azure DevOps repositories,

It would be great if we could actually also be able to CREATE new features with scenarios, based on steps definitions we have already defined.

The idea behind is that we have a lot of non-technical people, or people that do not want to install/learn Visual Studio. So to be able to create new Features with scenario steps directly in Azure DevOps, by linking them with our already scripted step definitions would be great thing to have.

In my mind it should work like in Visual studio, when a person starts creating a new Scenario and starts typing show him all steps that are currently scripted matching the typed text pattern.

This will eliminate the need for people to use IDE in order to create new features with scenarios.

Do you think this is achievable?

For this we have our Online Gherkin Editor: https://specflow.org/tools/online-gherkin-editor/

Hi @SabotageAndi, thank you for the link.

I saw in the product roadmap that you are currentlly working on some very good things:

• auto-complete suggestions based on existing steps
• enable a way to connect, write, edit and save Gherkin feature files directly from a Git repository
• write and edit Gherkin feature files directly on a Backlog Item in Azure DevOps

Can you please share some timeline for all those features?

Will we be able to test them soon :)
