# Softcoded vs Hardcoded

<figure><img src="/files/TftyXr2NyVetnJTBiAF7" alt=""><figcaption><p>Expect - toBe</p></figcaption></figure>

A expressão "EXPECT(1).TOBE(1);" ilustra a expectativa de que um valor gerado pelo sistema corresponda a um valor específico.&#x20;

Nesta abordagem, o conceito de *softcoded* refere-se à geração dinâmica do valor, simbolizado por "EXPECT(1)", enquanto o *hardcoded* se refere ao valor esperado fixo, representado por "TOBE(1)".&#x20;

Isso significa que esperamos que algo gerado pelo sistema tenha determinado valor, combinando a flexibilidade de valores dinâmicos com a rigidez de valores fixos para garantir a precisão dos testes.
