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).
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 ...

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 ...
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.
Aug 24, 2015 · BDD and TDD are not mutually exclusive. See Liz Keogh's post. Behavior testing should be understandable by business stakeholders. Unit testing is typically intended to be understood by technical team members (developers, testers etc.).

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 9, 2011 · The author, Sarah Mei, explains the flow that a developer would undertake to use BDD/TDD and highlights some caveats on testing Controllers, Models and Views. I tend to agree that Rspec is good for the models, more so when you have custom behaviour that is beyond what Rails gives you out of the box. This comes out in the RSpec & Cucumber books ...
Dec 1, 2014 · If your aim is to learn how to design better and you're commited to test-first approach, PhpSpec will help you. If your aim is to test or verify, PhpUnit is your friend. TDD vs BDD. It's not either TDD or BDD. At least from a code level perspective, they're the same. BDD started as a TDD-redefined, offering a better terminology.
