SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill introduces a strict Test-Driven Development discipline by enforcing a fail-before-production rule and standardized review processes across teams.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Test-first governance: requires a failing test before production code is added.
  • Two-Stage Review: ensures changes pass tests prior to merge.
  • Pre-commit Hook: blocks commits unless tests are failing/green as required.
  • Guardrails & Metrics: tracks test-first ratio and coverage trends to guide quality improvement.

Quick Start

Run the failing test first, implement the minimal production code to pass, and then refactor while keeping all tests green.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce a test-first rule in my pre-commit hooks?▼

You enforce TDD by configuring a pre-commit hook that blocks commits unless a failing test is written before any production code is added, automating the red-green-refactor workflow.

What is the best way to automate Test-Driven Development governance across a software team?▼

The best way to automate TDD governance is applying repeatable guardrails across specification, design, and merge reviews, requiring a two-stage review process that ensures all changes pass tests prior to merging.

How do I track TDD compliance and coverage trends in CI/CD?▼

Track TDD compliance by utilizing built-in guardrails and metrics that measure the test-first ratio and coverage trends, providing transparent data to guide continuous quality improvement across your software projects.

Can I use a pre-commit gate to block commits unless tests are failing or green?▼

Yes, you can use a pre-commit gate to block commits unless tests are failing or green as required, serving as an automated fail-fast mechanism to enforce strict Test-Driven Development discipline across the team.

When do I need a strict Test-Driven Development enforcement process?▼

You need strict TDD enforcement when introducing test-first discipline across software teams to guarantee a fail-before-production rule and standardized two-stage merge reviews are consistently followed without exception.
