SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The TDD workflow provides a disciplined approach to FastLED development, ensuring features and bug fixes are driven by tests, reducing regressions and speeding up delivery.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Red-Green-Refactor cycle guidance for adding new features or fixing bugs.
  • Phase 1: RED — write a failing test to specify the desired behavior.
  • Phase 2: GREEN — implement the minimal code to pass the test.
  • Phase 3: REFACTOR — clean up, improve design, and ensure tests remain green.
  • Use Case: teams implementing a new LED effect or debugging a bug can follow this workflow to guarantee test coverage and maintainable code.

Quick Start

Start by writing a failing test, then implement the minimal code to pass and repeat the Red-Green-Refactor cycle until all tests pass.

FAQPage Schema
How do I use test-driven development for FastLED embedded projects?

Test-driven development for FastLED follows a Red-Green-Refactor cycle: write a failing test first, implement minimal code to pass, then refactor while keeping tests green. This enforces test-first workflows for features and bug fixes in embedded LED projects.

What is the Red-Green-Refactor cycle and how does it apply to LED effects?

The Red-Green-Refactor cycle drives feature development by first writing a failing test for the desired LED behavior, then implementing minimal code to pass that test, and finally refactoring the code while ensuring all tests remain green.

Can I apply TDD workflows to fix bugs in FastLED code?

Yes, TDD workflows apply to bug fixes in FastLED by first writing a failing test that reproduces the bug, then implementing the minimal code to pass the test, ensuring regression coverage and maintainable embedded code.

Do I need a specific unit testing framework to follow test-driven development in embedded LED projects?

The TDD workflow requires a defined process of writing failing tests, minimal implementations, and iterative refactoring aligned to FastLED project conventions, but does not depend on a specific external unit testing framework or library.

When should I use test-first workflows instead of writing code first in FastLED?

Use test-first workflows when implementing new LED effects or fixing bugs to guarantee test coverage and reduce regressions, ensuring features and fixes are driven by tests and aligned with FastLED project conventions.
