Aug 5, 2008 · To me primary difference between BDD and TDD is focus and wording. And words are important for communicating your intent. TDD directs focus on testing. And since in "old waterfall world" tests come after implementation, then this mindset leads to wrong understanding and behaviour. BDD directs focus on behaviour and specification, and so ...
Dec 9, 2010 · 43. BDD is from customers point of view and focuses on excpected behavior of the whole system. TDD is from developpers point of view and focuses on the implementation of one unit/class/feature. It benefits among others from better architecture (Design for testability, less coupling between modules).
BDD (Dan North, Dave Astels, Dave Chelimsky, et. al) is a movement to make the whole delivery process agile. That said, teams doing BDD would be employing the practice of ATDD - i.e. the process of starting with executable specifications of acceptance criteria. An effective graphic to put the point across is where ATDD wraps the inner cycle of TDD.
Dec 26, 2016 · 1. BDD and TDD are not comparable to each other, although they are both used in test first development. BDD is more than just writing tests with an English-like syntax, e.g. Kiwi. BDD (also known as ATDD—Acceptance Test Driven Development) starts with developers, QA, and designers (e.g. business, and interaction designers), working together ...
Nov 14, 2011 · 5. I just came across this blog post which states: It seems that the accepted way to test in Ruby is to use Rspec for unit tests and to use Cucumber for acceptance tests (higher level functional testing). It then goes on to ask: "if we agree that BDD is good, why don’t we write our unit tests in a format that is more amenable to BDD, that ...
Oct 23, 2014 · xBehave BDD: SpecFlow. SpecFlow (very similar to cucumber from the Ruby stack) is excellent in facilitating xBehave BDD tests as Acceptance Criteria. It does not however provide a good way to write behavioral tests on a unit level. There are a few other xBehave testing frameworks, but SpecFlow has gotten a lot of traction.
Oct 8, 2015 · 5. TDD and BDD are used for different purposes, so they definetely can be used together. BDD makes sure the user stories provided by the product owner/business analyst work and TDD makes sure the code (can be numerous classes) needed to make the BDD tests work is of high quality. Thanks for the response.
Apr 5, 2017 · To answer the question where to draw a line between both approaches the Agile Testing Quadrants are quite helpful: Drawing a line. I found that the unit test (TDD) approach was more helpful for the technology facing tests. The BDD approach was more helpful for the business facing tests. Details about this observation.
Aug 10, 2013 · What is the main difference between BDD and TDD? BDD focuses on validation while TDD focuses on verification. BDD focuses on verification while TDD focuses on validation. BDD is better than TDD at testing methods independently. BDD generally uses mocks and stubs more than TDD. The answer to the question was (1).

Get into the mindset of BDD and the English language reports it produces. If people see unit test reports and wish they had such expressive reports for their higher-level tests, you may just sell them BDD ...
