There are various frameworks available for Behavior-Driven Development (BDD). As an automation testing services company, we have used Cucumber, Behave, and Specflow for test automation projects.
However, we have found and listed 25 BDD frameworks
which are popular among experts.
Cucumber
Cucumber is a software tool that computer programmers use for testing other software. It runs automated acceptance tests written in a behavior-driven development (BDD) style. Cucumber is written in the Ruby programming language. Cucumber projects are available for other platforms beyond Ruby.

SpecFlow
SpecFlow acceptance tests follow the BDD paradigm: define specifications using examples understandable to business users as well as developers and testers. SpecFlow integrates with Visual Studio, but can be also used from the command line.

Jasmine
Jasmine is a behavior-driven development framework for testing JavaScript code. It does not depend on any other JavaScript frameworks. It does not require a DOM. And it has a clean, obvious syntax so that you can easily write tests.

Behat
Behat is an open source Behavior Driven Development framework for PHP 5.3+. What’s behavior driven development, you ask? It’s a way to develop software through a constant communication with stakeholders in form of examples; examples of how this software should help them, and you, to achieve your goals.

Codeception
All Codeception tests are written in a descriptive manner. Just by looking at the test body you can get a clear understanding of what is being tested and how it is performed. Even complex tests with many assertions are written in a simple PHP DSL.
