I've read TDD and BDD Differences and What are the primary differences between TDD and BDD?.
Here was (part of) an answer:
BDD is just TDD with different words. If you do TDD right, you are doing BDD. The difference is that – provided you believe at least in the weak form of the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis – the different words make it easier to do it right.
But I still haven't been able to understand why BDD focuses on validation while TDD focuses on verification.
The question about BDD vs. TDD (and validation and verification) came up in a quiz problem:
What is the main difference between BDD and TDD?
- BDD focuses on validation while TDD focuses on verification
- BDD focuses on verification while TDD focuses on validation
- BDD is better than TDD at testing methods independently
- BDD generally uses mocks and stubs more than TDD
The answer to the question was (1). Would someone elaborate on why "BDD focuses on validation while TDD focuses on verification"?
