SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enforces a Test-Driven Development (TDD) workflow, ensuring that all new code is written only after a failing test has been created and observed, thereby preventing bugs and improving code reliability.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces TDD: Mandates writing tests before implementation code.
  • Guides TDD Cycle: Provides clear steps for the Red-Green-Refactor cycle.
  • Use Case: When developing a new trading indicator, you would first write a test that defines the expected output for a given input, then write the minimal code to make that test pass, and finally refactor.

Quick Start

Use the quantdev-tdd skill to write a failing test for a new feature.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce test-driven development when writing new code?▼

Test-driven development is enforced by mandating the creation of a failing test before any production code is written, guiding you through the Red-Green-Refactor cycle to ensure reliability.

What is the Red-Green-Refactor cycle for unit testing?▼

The Red-Green-Refactor cycle for unit testing involves writing a failing test first, creating minimal code to make it pass, and then refactoring to improve code quality without breaking functionality.

How do I write regression tests for trading indicators?▼

Regression testing for trading indicators requires defining expected outputs for given inputs in a test, then writing minimal code to pass the test and refactoring to prevent future regressions.

Can I use this TDD workflow for signal and strategy regression testing?▼

Yes, this TDD workflow supports signal and strategy regression testing by applying strict testing protocols to verify expected outputs against specific inputs before implementation.

Why does test-driven development prevent bugs in software engineering?▼

Test-driven development prevents bugs by ensuring all new code is written only after a failing test has been created and observed, mandating adherence to strict testing protocols for code quality.

What's the best way to start a developer workflow using TDD?▼

The best way to start a TDD developer workflow is to write a failing test for a new feature, ensuring you establish expected behavior before implementing the minimal production code required.
