Evolving TDD

I had posted an update to my earlier blog post about TDD & its variations. Well, not surprisingly, I have encountered some more variations of this amazing practice. Here is the updated list with the new additions called out.

ATDD = Anti-Trust Driven Development
BDD = Benefit Driven Development
CDD = Cribbing Driven Development
CDD = Control Driven Development
IDD = Indifference Driven Development
ODD = Optimism Driven Development
PDD = Punishment Driven Development
RDD = Reporting Driven Development
SDD = Slide(s) Driven Development
SDD = Short-cut Driven Development

A few variants kindly shared by the community members:
FDD = Food Driven Development
SGDD = Style Guide Driven Development http://styleguidedrivendevelopment.net/

To recap, here is the original list
ATDD = Acceptance Test Driven Development
BDD = Behavior / Business Driven Development
BDD = Blame Driven Development
BDD = Buzzword Driven Development
CDD = Complexity Driven Development

CDD = Checklist Driven Development
CDD = Chadi (stick) Driven Development
CDD = Constraint Driven Development
CPDD / CDD = Copy-Paste Driven Development
DDD = Demo Driven Development
DDD = Date Driven Development
DDD = Defect Driven Development
DDD = Document (PRD) Driven Development
EDD = Escalation Driven Development
EDD = Estimation Driven Development
EDD = Excel Driven Development
FDD = Fake-it Driven Development
FDD = Fashion Driven Development
FDD = Fear Driven Development
FDD = Footwear (punishment) Driven Development
HDD = Hope Driven Development (fingers crossed)
IDD = Instinct Driven Development
IDD = Issue Driven Development
JDD = Jira Driven Development
MDD = Metrics Driven Development
MDD = Manager / Management Driven Development
MDD = Mandate Driven Development
MDD = Meeting Driven Development
NDD = No-Drive (towards) Development
PDD = Patch(work) Driven Development

TDD and its variations in 2021

Back in 2018, I had written a blog post about Test Driven Development (TDD) and its modern variations.

Today I have some more insights on the variations.

To recap, here is the original list

BDD = Behavior / Business Driven Development
BDD = Blame Driven Development
BDD = Buzzword Driven Development
CDD = Calendar Driven Development
CDD = Checklist Driven Development
CDD = Chadi (stick) Driven Development
CDD = Constraint Driven Development
DDD = Date Driven Development
DDD = Defect Driven Development
DDD = Document (PRD) Driven Development
EDD = Escalation Driven Development
EDD = Estimation Driven Development
EDD = Excel Driven Development
FDD = Fashion Driven Development
FDD = Fear Driven Development
FDD = Footwear (punishment) Driven Development
HDD = Hope Driven Development (fingers crossed)
IDD = Instinct Driven Development
IDD = Issue Driven Development
JDD = Jira Driven Development
MDD = Metrics Driven Development
MDD = Manager / Management Driven Development
NDD = No-Drive (towards) Development
PDD = Patch(work) Driven Development
PDD = Plan Driven Development
PDD = Prayer Driven Development
PDD = Process Driven Development
RDD = Resource Driven Development
RDD = Resume Driven Development
SDD = Stackoverflow Driven Development
SDD = Stakeholder Driven Development

Here are the new variations I have come across:

ATDD = Acceptance Test Driven Development
CDD = Complexity Driven Development
CPDD / CDD = Copy-Paste Driven Development
DDD = Demo Driven Development
FDD = Fake-it Driven Development
MDD = Mandate Driven Development
MDD = Meeting Driven Development
PDD = Profanity Driven Development
SDD = Swallow-exceptions Driven Development
SDD = Sprint Driven Development
TDD = Trust Driven Development
VDD = Velocity Driven Development 

Have you come across any of the above variants? Anything I have missed?

Test Driven Development (TDD) and its modern variations

NOTE / RECOMMENDATION - This blog post is to be read with your funny side switched on!

First - lets answer the question - What is TDD?

Directly from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test-driven_development - Test-driven development (TDD) is a software development process that relies on the repetition of a very short development cycle: Requirements are turned into very specific test cases, then the software is improved to pass the new tests, only. This is opposed to software development that allows software to be added that is not proven to meet requirements.

American software engineer Kent Beck, who is credited with having developed or "rediscovered"^[1] the technique, stated in 2003 that TDD encourages simple designs and inspires confidence.

Test-driven development is related to the test-first programming concepts of extreme programming, begun in 1999,^[3] but more recently has created more general interest in its own right.

However, over the years, fortunately or unfortunately, I have also come across various different techniques (used consciously / unconsciously) in Software Development, to get the work done. Some of them are listed below - in alphabetical order:

BDD = Behavior / Business Driven Development
BDD = Blame Driven Development
BDD = Buzzword Driven Development
CDD = Calendar Driven Development
CDD = Checklist Driven Development
CDD = Chadi (stick) Driven Development
CDD = Constraint Driven Development
DDD = Date Driven Development
DDD = Defect Driven Development
DDD = Document (PRD) Driven Development
EDD = Escalation Driven Development
EDD = Estimation Driven Development
EDD = Excel Driven Development
FDD = Fashion Driven Development
FDD = Fear Driven Development
FDD = Footwear (punishment) Driven Development
HDD = Hope Driven Development (fingers crossed)
IDD = Instinct Driven Development
IDD = Issue Driven Development
JDD = Jira Driven Development
MDD = Metrics Driven Development
MDD = Manager / Management Driven Development
PDD = Patch(work) Driven Development
PDD = Plan Driven Development
PDD = Prayer Driven Development
PDD = Process Driven Development
RDD = Resource Driven Development
RDD = Resume Driven Development
SDD = Stackoverflow Driven Development
SDD = Stakeholder Driven Development

And the last one -
NDD = No-Drive (towards) Development

Any other style of development you have come across in your experience?

Hope you had fun reading the list!
