SpecFlow is Dying. Another Prediction of Mine Proven Correct
It’s quite intriguing that Tricentis made its announcement just one day after SmartBear decided to give up on Cucumber.

On January 15, 2020. “Tricentis announced that it has acquired SpecFlow, the biggest and most trusted BDD solution for .NET”.
It was a big mistake as I pointed out years ago “Gherkins frameworks (Cucumber, SpecFlow) are no good for real E2E test automation”. I will show proof shortly, but let’s see the recent news first.
Astute readers might notice that different from SpecFlow acquisition, “SpecFlow end of life” does not make it to the news section, just a support update. Why? It is too embarrassing for Tricentis’ mangement. How could a large software testing vendor company make such an obvious mistake? Its claim that “the leader in continuous testing for DevOps” certainly is false.
The date, 2024–12–20, is rather interesting, one day after SmartBear gave up Cucumber.
