TDD is an Agile Development technique in which developers write test cases before writing the corresponding code for the user story assigned to him. Once the code passes the Acceptance test, the code is then refactored /simplified to be used as production code. How TDD is different than others?

It reduces the cost of testing and supports keeping long-term, high-development velocities. Test automation is not a project or a one-off—it is part of the development lifecycle and should be seen as its own system that needs to evolve over time as the requirements and system under test change and mature.

Because TDD is “test” driven development, people tend to think of TDD as “writing tests first.” In fact, TDD is not a testing activity per se. It is the creation of an executable specification prior to the creation of each system element.

This is basically assuming the system is correct until proven otherwise. Deciding what strategy to use depends on your risk appetite for a specific system or functionality and on how much certainty you already have. When the risk profile of a system , or the certainty on it changes, the best quality strategy might also change.

Clearly, the best way to test any software is with fully automated ‘system’ testing that is thorough enough that it can be used for full regression testing. In its fullest form, it is at least as much code as the thing it is going to test, and you have to build a custom version of it, every time, for every system.
