SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

TDD enforces a test-first workflow to prevent regressions and guide code design, ensuring changes are driven by failing tests and verified behavior.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces RED-GREEN-REFACTOR workflow for new features, bug fixes, and refactors.
  • Mandates automated verification and code reviews to catch regressions early.
  • Supports debugging and verification patterns to improve overall software quality and maintainability.

Quick Start

Write a failing test, implement the minimal code to pass, then refactor.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce test-driven development for new features and bug fixes?▼

Test-driven development is enforced by requiring a failing test before any implementation. It applies the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR workflow to new features, bug fixes, and refactors, ensuring changes are driven by failing tests and verified behavior.

What is the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR workflow in test-first development?▼

The RED-GREEN-REFACTOR workflow is a test-first development cycle. You write a failing test, implement the minimal code to pass the test, then refactor the code while maintaining automated verification and anti-pattern checks.

Can I use automated verification workflows for code reviews and refactoring?▼

Automated verification workflows are mandated for code reviews and refactoring to catch regressions early. The process supports debugging and verification patterns to improve overall software quality and maintainability across projects.

Do I need a specific test framework to start test-first development?▼

Test-first development requires prerequisites for test frameworks and execution environments. You must configure your testing framework before writing the initial failing test to enable mandatory verification and automated checks.

How does test-driven development prevent regressions in software projects?▼

Test-driven development prevents regressions by enforcing a test-first workflow that guides code design. It mandates automated verification and code reviews to ensure code correctness and catch regressions early across software projects.
