‘BDD is not testing’
BDD was invented 15 years ago to help people realise that TDD is not testing. Still, many people believe BDD and TDD is testing. This misconception leads to poor tests, slow feedback loops and high maintenance costs. In this talk Aslak will bust the most widespread myths about BDD and hopefully explain what BDD is – a way to develop software.
Followed by Questions and Answers
