It's a deliberate marketing ploy by the TDD cultists. I see the same people doing it over and over again even after being corrected repeatedly.

- davidcuddeback 13y agoActually, it's quite the opposite. TDD advocates and researchers have been trying to clarify the distinction for years. One of the motivating factors of BDD was to rebrand TDD with less of a focus on the word "test," because that word causes a lot of confusion among practitioners. Also, please drop the word "cultists." You can disagree with a technique on legitimate grounds without resorting to ad hominems. I'm downvoting you because you're not adding any substance to the debate.
- skrebbel 13y agoYou seriously blame a vaguely defined, unorganized group of people of deliberate conspiracy? A much simpler and less nasty explanation could be that to people who do TDD, the difference between 'doing TDD' and 'writing good unit tests' is completely uninteresting. It's all part of the same engineering practice. This blog post clearly seems to target people with an interest in TDD, so I don't see what's wrong with that.
