There is ATDD (Acceptance-Test Driven Development too) ;-) They are all variations on the same theme and only marginally different IMO. The biggest difference seems to be that different people and groups promote them and talk about them in slightly different ways, and emphasise the various techniques differently. My personal take is that BDD *is* ATDD/STDD, but with an additional emphasis on Business value and getting the words right. I'm not sure how ATDD and STDD are different. Maybe the best place to get a good balance of viewpoints on this topic is in a tool-agnostic forum - maybe this one: http://groups.google.com/group/behaviordrivendevelopment (I don't know of any STDD or ATDD forums). There are good articles about ATDD and STDD here: http://testobsessed.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/*atdd* example.pdf http://industriallogic.com/papers/storytest.pdf http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/sqe/bettersoftware0908/ (page 24-29) Aslak > Regards > > Aidy > _______________________________________________ > rspec-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/rspec-users >
