We recognize Test-Driven Development ( TDD) can be difficult to practice as features increase in complexity. Testing is often skipped when developers feel uncomfortable with TDD or have not yet seen certain approaches in practice.
We'll describe specific techniques used in TDD which touch on: Integration testing with RSpec+Capybara, Model Associations and Data Validations, Asynchronous Jobs, Emails, 3rd Party Services, and JSON API endpoints.

I regularly find myself explaining to people the difference between TDD ( Test-Driven Development) and BDD ( Behaviour-Driven Development). There still seems to be a lot of confusion over this, so I wanted to this write up for reference.
Late last year I was interviewed for a virtual panel on InfoQ along with Dan , Gojko , and Liz . Probably the most interesting part of that conversation covered the difference between TDD and BDD. Or rather the lack of any great difference.

#2 Do Test Driven Development ( TDD) Well
By well I mean do all of the normal activities that are part of TDD ... and do one more thing. Create self documenting code that also lends itself to traceability directly back to product requirements. Imagine telling an auditor that you can prove that you tested every path of the code EVERY time you checked your code in...thousands of times. All of these tests can be directly linked back to product requirements. That would make an audit pretty easy. …

It has helpful coding suggestions and refactoring support. It has code snippets. …
