To write tests before coding in Python, you follow the Red-Green-Refactor cycle: write a failing test, implement minimal production code to pass it, then refactor. This enforces a disciplined TDD workflow from failing tests to working features.

The FIRST testing principles require tests to be Fast, Independent, Repeatable, Self-validating, and Timely. Applying these principles improves test quality by ensuring your TDD workflow produces reliable, maintainable, and efficient test suites.

Yes, you can apply TDD workflows to bug fixes and code reviews in Django apps. The process enforces testability and guides developers to write failing tests that validate bug fixes before implementing the actual production code.

The best way to start feature development with a failing test is to write a test for the intended feature first, then implement the minimal production code required to pass that test, maintaining a strict Red-Green-Refactor cycle.

Common TDD anti-patterns are prevented through anti-pattern awareness built into the workflow, ensuring you avoid common pitfalls that compromise testability and violate the FIRST testing principles during Python feature development.
