Project Roadmap for 2025 🚀

[vitalets]

2024 was a productive year for Playwright-BDD, most of the goals are achieved:

• Independence from CucumberJS: Playwright-BDD now operates without CucumberJS package.
• Enhanced reporting: Majority of Cucumber reports are supported.
• Scenarios generation: The automation of writing BDD scenarios has been reconsidered in the context of AI and moved to the next year.

2025 Roadmap

Here are some ideas and improvements planned for Playwright-BDD:

• More AI Stuff

  • Generate scenarios from any input (e.g., raw business requirements, pull request diffs, etc.).
  • Use AI to automatically fill in snippets for undefined steps.
  • AI assistance for fixing test errors and pre-populating prompts.
  • Self-healing tests using Playwright's retry mechanics.

• Performance

  • True BeforeFeature / AfterFeature hooks that run once across all workers #219.
  • Automated tests to verify what is loaded in workers.
  • Dropping support for deprecated Playwright versions.

• Support

  • Reporters for detecting unused steps and improving coverage #53, #113.
  • Integration with third-party services (e.g., testomat.io).
  • Documentation improvements (consider using Docusaurus).
  • More practical guides on different BDD use-cases.

The focus remains on expanding Playwright-BDD features while incorporating community feedback.
