This Skill provides a comprehensive guide to Test-Driven Development (TDD), enabling developers to write higher-quality code more efficiently by focusing on testing first.
Review the TDD cycle and its core principles to begin applying test-first development.

Test-driven development uses the red green refactor cycle: write a failing test, write code to make it pass, then refactor. This enforces the three laws of TDD and test-first patterns to produce maintainable software.
Test doubles such as mocks, stubs, and spies isolate code behavior during unit testing. Using them correctly within the AAA pattern prevents common testing anti-patterns and ensures your test suite validates logic rather than implementations.
The test pyramid balances unit and integration test proportions, property-based testing generates varied inputs to find edge cases, and mutation testing evaluates test suite effectiveness by mutating code to check if tests fail.
Start new feature development using a test-first workflow: define requirements via a failing test, implement minimal code to pass it, and refactor safely. This ensures robust code from the outset by validating logic before implementation.
Avoid test-first development when exploring unfamiliar prototypes where rapid feedback matters more than test coverage, or when writing trivial code where forcing failing tests adds unnecessary overhead without improving software quality.
