What Are The Difference Between Tdd Vs. Traditional Testing?

1.	What Are The Difference Between Tdd Vs. Traditional Testing?
Answer» TDD approach is primarily a specification technique. It ensures that your source code is thoroughly tested at confirmatory level. With traditional testing, a successful test finds one or more defects. It is same with TDD. When a test fails, you have made progress because you know that you NEED to resolve the problem. TDD ensures that your system actually meets requirements defined for it. It helps to build your confidence about your system. In TDD more focus is on production code that verifies whether testing will work properly. In traditional testing, more focus is on test case design. Whether the test will show proper/improper execution of the application in ORDER to fulfill requirements. In TDD, you achieve 100% coverage test. Every SINGLE line of code is tested unlike traditional testing. The combination of both traditional testing and TDD LEADS to the IMPORTANCE of testing the system rather than perfection of the system. In Agile Modeling (AM), you should "test with purpose". You should know why you are testing something and what level its need to be tested. TDD approach is primarily a specification technique. It ensures that your source code is thoroughly tested at confirmatory level.
