Manual Tests & Gherkin

​
Viewing tests: Steps vs Gherkin

Use the Steps / Gherkin pills at the top of the test list to switch view mode globally (all tests at once). The pills only appear if at least one generated test has a Gherkin scenario.

​
Export formats

​
Classic steps

Each test is pushed with the standard ADO step format: Action + Expected Result columns. If a Gherkin scenario exists, it is also written to System.Description as a bonus.

​
Gherkin BDD

Each Gherkin line becomes an ADO step:
  • Given / When / And (before Then) → ActionStep
  • Then / And / But (after Then) → ValidateStep with Verify: in the action field
The full scenario is also written to System.Description.
Gherkin step mapping uses standard English keywords. French Gherkin keywords fall back silently to classic step format.

​
Pushing to ADO

Tests are pushed via the Tested By relation. They appear in the Test Coverage tab of the work item.
You do not need an Azure DevOps Test Plans licence to push manual tests. A Basic licence is sufficient.

​
Editing tests before push

  • Change the priority via the P1–P4 dropdown
  • Add or remove steps using + Step and ✕
