162: Flavors of TDD

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 for further questions or if I missed some crucial variant of TDD that you know and love.
