On a recent usergroup meeting I got introduced to SpecFlow. This opened a whole new world in formulating tests ans specifications. Although I’ve been trying to formulate my tests in a BDD manor, inspired by JP Boodhoo’s and Stefan Liesern’s BDD examples this feels much better.

So the next logical step would be to move to a natural german specification instead of having the original given-when-then syntax.

Turns out, that switching the language is actually really easy. Even though I didn’t seem to find anything on the web … You just have to adjust the app.config like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <section name="specFlow"
      type="TechTalk.SpecFlow.Configuration.ConfigurationSectionHandler,
            TechTalk.SpecFlow"/>
  </configSections>
  <specFlow>
    <language feature="de-DE" tool="" />
  </specFlow>
</configuration>

And that’s all that’s to it.
