The point of view differs, but that's about it. And they definitely have their place... the kind of testing that you can do with something like QuickNet would not replace your TDD/BDD tests. Well, at least not all of them but a few of them would make less sense. @Liam

Have you considered that you might be missing the point? BDD scenarios are written against features, from the users point of view. TDD tests are written against implementation. It is a different mindsight. Both are appropriate in different scenarios.
