## BDD in the Era of AI

[Behavior-Driven Development (BDD)](https://cucumber.io/docs/bdd/) describes product requirements as `Given / When / Then` scenarios written in `.feature` files. These scenarios are valuable artifacts for AI agents because they are both **readable** and **executable**. You can refine them during planning to provide the agent with a clear goal. Once the code is written, the agent runs the same scenarios as tests to verify the implementation. Unlike plain markdown specs, BDD does not just describe the behavior; it makes the spec live and keeps it aligned with the codebase.

Install the [playwright-bdd skill](https://vitalets.github.io/playwright-bdd/#/getting-started/agent-skill) and check out the [blog post](https://vitalets.github.io/posts/bdd-agentic-workflow/) on using BDD in agentic workflows.

## Why Playwright Runner?

Playwright can be used as a [browser automation library](https://playwright.dev/docs/library) with any test runner, such as CucumberJS or Vitest. However, it is most powerful when used with the **Playwright test runner**. Playwright-BDD converts BDD scenarios into native Playwright tests, so you get all Playwright runner features out of the box:

- Automatic browser setup and cleanup
- Auto-waiting for page elements
- Auto-capture of screenshots, videos, and traces
- Parallel execution and sharding
- Built-in reports and visual comparison testing
- Playwright fixtures
- [...and more](https://playwright.dev/docs/library#key-differences)

## How It Works

## Extras
Playwright-BDD has several unique features:

- 🔥 Advanced tagging [by path](https://vitalets.github.io/playwright-bdd/#/writing-features/tags-from-path) and [special tags](https://vitalets.github.io/playwright-bdd/#/writing-features/special-tags)
- 🎩 [Step decorators](https://vitalets.github.io/playwright-bdd/#/writing-steps/decorators) for class methods  
- 🎯 [Scoped step definitions](https://vitalets.github.io/playwright-bdd/#/writing-steps/scoped)  
- ✨ [Exporting steps](https://vitalets.github.io/playwright-bdd/#/writing-features/chatgpt) for AI  
- ♻️ [Re-usable step functions](https://vitalets.github.io/playwright-bdd/#/writing-steps/reusing-step-fn)
