You're talking about SpecFlow.exe ;)

Actually there's a few steps involved and I blogged about it using MsTest about a year ago.

The basic steps are:

1. Use SpecFlow.exe (with switch generateall) to generate tests from the .feature files.
2. Run tests and create a report. In my example i'm using MsTest but NUnit will work just fine.
3. Use SpecFlow.exe again (with switch mstestexecutionreport in my case) to generate the report.
