What BDDX 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 for line-by-line runs, and can stop and resume bulk testing from a checkpoint. Its documented workflow uses a cloud BDDX project and API key alongside the CLI: install the CLI with `npm i bddx`, run tests from a repository, and upload results to the cloud. When defects are detected, the documentation describes creating Jira tasks and GitHub or GitLab issues; Jira tasks can also be created automatically for failed tests. BDDX is a web product with browser testing, API access, and both execution modes. Its Start plan is free and allows up to 50 runs per month. Grow costs $9.99 a month for 51–250 runs, while Accelerate costs $14.99 a month for 251–500 runs. Scale has no listed plan price and specifies unlimited runs at 0.03$ per run. The homepage describes Scale as intended for a test team running automated tests daily. BDDX was founded in 2011 and is headquartered in Białystok, Poland. The documentation says email and Jira API token credentials are saved locally on the machine.
