About the Topic
Test-Driven
Development (TDD) is a software development technique consisting of
short iterations where new test cases covering the desired improvement
or new functionality are written first, then the production code
necessary to pass the tests is implemented, and finally the software is
refactored to accommodate changes. The availability of tests before
actual development ensures rapid feedback after any change.
Practitioners emphasize that test-driven development is a method of
designing software, not merely a method of testing. It combines
test-first development where you write a test before you write just
enough production code to fulfill that test and refactoring. The
primary goal of TDD is specification and not validation. In other
words, it’s one way to think through your design before your write your
functional code. TDD is also a programming technique; the goal of
which is to write clean code that works.
