That's the right way to do TDD, see this talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZ05e7EMOLM

One of the above comments mentions BDD as a close cousin to TDD, but that is wrong as TDD is actually BDD as you should only be testing behaviours, which allow you to "fearlessly refactor"

Behavior is an unfortunate term, because the "London Style" TDD sometimes is described as testing behaviors:

Which seems like the exact opposite of what the talk is saying you should do.
