TDD provides a disciplined workflow that reduces defects by writing tests before implementation, guiding developers toward clearer requirements and safer changes.
Write a failing test that expresses the desired behavior, then implement the minimal code to make it pass.

Test-driven development is a workflow where you write a failing test first, implement minimal code to pass it, then refactor safely. The red-green-refactor cycle enforces this discipline to reduce defects and guide incremental feature development.
The prove-it pattern fixes bugs by first writing a test that reproduces the exact bug, confirming it fails, then implementing the code change to make that test pass, proving the defect is resolved.
Start test-driven development by writing a failing test that expresses the desired behavior, then write the minimal implementation code required to make that test pass, and finally refactor the code while keeping tests green.
Test-driven development favors real implementations over mocks to ensure tests validate actual behavior and integration, reducing false positives while maintaining reliable test suites for safer code changes.
Yes, test-driven development applies across software projects for both feature development and bug fixes, using the red-green-refactor cycle to design code and the prove-it pattern to reproduce and resolve defects.
Test-driven development requires a reliable test suite before refactoring. If your project lacks existing test coverage or cannot express desired behavior as a test, this disciplined cycle may not be suitable.
