Sometimes there are scenarios that can only be tested manually. Maybe you are testing colors or placement of a picture or some other important feature that only human eyes can assert as right or wrong. When I have a manual test definition in my automated test framework I want to tell the framework to ignore it, but still report it so we don’t lose sight of it. I am building features into my test framework to handle ignoring manual testing, but I found this code below that does it easily in SpecFlow.

[Binding, Scope(Tag = “Manual”)]
public class ManualSteps
{
    [Given(“.*”), When(“.*”), Then(“.*”)]
    public void EmptyStep()
    {
    }

    [Given(“.*”), When(“.*”), Then(“.*”)]
    public void EmptyStep(string multiLineStringParam)
    {
    }

   [Given(“.*”), When(“.*”), Then(“.*”)]
    public void EmptyStep(Table tableParam)
    {
    }
}

With this any scenario tagged with @Manual will be ignored, but they will still be reported in the test report. Sweet.
