Test Driven Development vs Behavior Driven Development • Dave Farley • GOTO 2022

We’re so pleased that we’ve teamed up with Dave Farley, author of “Continuous Delivery” and frequent GOTO Conferences speaker, for a monthly video series featuring ideas about continuous delivery, DevOps, test-driven development, BDD, software engineering and software development in general.
Find plenty more from Dave on his ‪@ContinuousDelivery‬ channel.

ABSTRACT
TDD vs BDD, Test Driven Development vs Behaviour Driven Development which is most important to get right? Most people think of BDD and TDD as having distinctly different focuses in an effective automated testing strategy. In fact they are more closely related than many people think.
In this episode on the Continuous Delivery channel, Dave Farley, who was involved in the creation of BDD, explains his slightly more unusual take on the real value of this approach to creating automated tests. Dave believes that TDD and BDD are at the foundations of a sound software engineering approach to software development and explores these ideas with some real-world examples of good and bad automated tests.

"We tested that the code that we wrote....is the code that we wrote..." gold!

[@ssdey2000]

Thank you, Dave. What I learned - the test is the means to confirm a specified behaviour. Behaviour can be specified at the method level or at a feature level. We generally write BDD at the feature level and think it is BDD.

IMHO, it would make sense to call it
Behavior driven design
Test driven implementation

[@kuldeepkulshreshtha1986]

At the end of video it is said, great way to get feedback. Feedback from “who” was unclear to me. Would you mind sharing?

[@r_j_p_]

Great when listened at 1.25 speed...

[@vsolyomi]

Why... is he comparing two almost completely unrelated things?

[@blaiseutube]

Yes, many people conflate the two and it would be best if he distinguished them at the outset.
