TDD/BDD testing methodologies?

Hi there,

I am new to Cocoa and XCode and have spent the most recent part of my 20+ years of programming using Ruby rather extensively.

Part of the kool-aid in Ruby land is test-driven and behavior driven development practices (TDD/BDD).

To go from that approach, where you generally start writing tests and specs before you start writing code, to Cocoa, where I get a lot of OO goodness and similarities to Ruby, but also plenty of opportunities to shoot myself with null pointers, etc, gives me a bit of whiplash.

While I am pretty comfortable with C and the kind of precautions that environment mandates, I wondered if anyone had any suggestions about how to apply any TDD/BDD methodologies to their ObjC development practice.

I'm imagining that there are some best practices that would bring the ObjC experience closer to a TDD/BDD approach, and I can postulate how to do some of that, but I would rather not reinvent the wheel if there are some established conventions for this sort of thing.

Any advice appreciated!

Best,
Dave
