Understanding TDD and BDD in Software Development

Test-Driven Development (TDD)

TDD is a software development approach where tests are written before the code. The cycle involves writing a test, making it pass by writing code, and then refactoring the code.

Behavior-Driven Development (BDD)

BDD extends TDD by writing tests in a natural language that non-technical stakeholders can understand, focusing on the behavior of the application.

Benefits

Both TDD and BDD promote better code quality, improved design, and greater collaboration among developers, testers, and stakeholders.
