TDD is dead, long live TDD (2016)

Laracon EU 2016

testing tdd bdd phpspec best-practices

The talk discusses how Test-Driven Development (TDD) has evolved into Specification by Example and Behavior-Driven Development (BDD). The speaker demonstrates this evolution by building a Wikipedia search feature using PHP Spec, showing how to write specifications before implementation, use mock objects, and integrate the solution with Laravel. The presentation emphasizes the importance of changing terminology from 'tests' to 'specifications' to better communicate intent and improve developer understanding.
