To enforce test-driven development, you write a failing unit test first, implement the minimum code required to pass it, run the full test suite, and commit. This structured red-green-refactor cycle ensures software behavior aligns with requirements and reduces defects.

The best way to structure unit tests is to place them in colocated files alongside target modules, routes, and APIs. This workflow provides guidance on correct test placement and mock validation to maximize coverage across classic test-driven development scenarios.

Yes, this test-driven development workflow supports Vitest for unit testing. It guides you through writing failing tests, implementing code to pass them, and running the full suite to ensure quality assurance before committing changes in your software project.

Yes, you can use this workflow for test placement and mock validation across API and route tests. It applies to software projects with colocated tests, helping you maximize coverage by correctly placing tests for modules, routes, and APIs.

To maintain commit hygiene during a red-green-refactor cycle, you write a failing test, implement the minimum code to pass, run the full test suite to confirm, and then commit. This disciplined approach ensures only verified, tested code is committed to the repository.

You need a guided test-first workflow when you want to reduce defects and align software behavior with requirements. It enforces writing failing tests before implementing code, ensuring strict adherence to quality assurance and proper test coverage across your project.
