TDD + BDD = TBD (Tests, Business, Development). A Triad of Engineering Culture
summary
The talk examines how to write readable, maintainable tests that serve as documentation rather than technical debt, diagnosing why some projects’ tests don’t raise coverage or add value. It presents practical guidance and practices (TDD and BDD combined into a ‘TBD’ triad) for turning routine test-case descriptions into a creative, team-understandable engineering culture, with a focus on unit testing for iOS.
