Flavors of TDD

About this Episode

What flavor of TDD do you practice?

In this episode we talk about:

• Classical vs Mockist TDD
• Detroit vs London (I actually refer to it in the episode as Chicago instead of Detroit. Oh well.)
• Static vs Behavior
• Inside Out vs Outside In
• Double Loop TDD
• BDD
• FDD
• Tracer Bullets
• Rules of TDD
• Team Structure
• Lean TDD

This is definitely an episode I'd like feedback on. Reach out to me @brianokken or via the contact form for further questions or if I missed some crucial variant of TDD that you know and love.
