TDD vs BDD? BDD vs Unit Tests? When should you write a BDD specification and when a Unit Test? Behaviour Driven Development is an effective way to capture a users intent: Test Driven Development is great to check that your code is good, but what if they test the same things? How do you optimise your testing?
In this episode Dave Farley describes his preferred testing strategy while meeting a challenge set by his friend Gojko Adzic on the Specflow website here: [ Ссылка ]
In this challenge Gojko poses the question when should you write Unit tests and when BDD tests? For Continuous Delivery the real answer is “All the *&^%$£ Time”. If we want to take a software engineering approach to solving problems we need to work experimentally and verify our results - through automated tests.
