Read it at the original source: ## Community discussion Top comments from developers on daily.dev. **@randy** · 2 upvotes > There is so much wrong with this article. Not sure the author even knows one thing about the topic. You can actually do TDD for BDD _and_ ATDD tests. Not only that, but what constitutes an “acceptance test” could be the exact same thing as a test created in a BDD fashion. And on top of that, depending on how you write tests, they may read in a BDD fashion even though you’re not trying to follow BDD. An example of that is using the Spock framework. --- Tags: [#testing](https://daily.dev/tags/testing), [#agile](https://daily.dev/tags/agile), [#tdd](https://daily.dev/tags/tdd) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/tdd-vs-bdd-selecting-the-suitable-framework-ut3kg3k7c) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"TDD vs BDD: Selecting The Suitable Framework","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/tdd-vs-bdd-selecting-the-suitable-framework-ut3kg3k7c","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/tdd-vs-bdd-selecting-the-suitable-framework-ut3kg3k7c"},"datePublished":"2024-04-07T09:52:11.164Z","dateModified":"2024-09-05T06:52:42.073Z","description":"A comparison between TDD and BDD, implementation of TDD, and advantages of BDD.","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/a90d077fd10086466c8c21fc28d3c910?_a=AQAEufR","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/a90d077fd10086466c8c21fc28d3c910?_a=AQAEufR","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"TestMu AI (Formerly LambdaTest)","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Enrique A Decoss","url":"https://daily.dev/enriqueadecoss","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--O0TOmw4y--/f_auto/v1715772965/public/noProfile","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"EndorseAction"},"userInteractionCount":50}},"commentCount":4,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/tdd-vs-bdd-selecting-the-suitable-framework-ut3kg3k7c","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":27},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":4}],"keywords":"testing,agile,tdd","timeRequired":"PT17M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"TestMu AI (Formerly LambdaTest)","item":"https://daily.dev/squads/testmu_ai"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"TDD vs BDD: Selecting The Suitable Framework"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/tdd-vs-bdd-selecting-the-suitable-framework-ut3kg3k7c","comment":[{"@type":"Comment","text":"There is so much wrong with this article.
