Practicing Test-Driven Development (TDD) helps teams design robust software by writing failing tests first, then implementing minimal code to pass, and continuously refactoring to improve design without changing behavior.
Run the simplest red test first, then implement minimal code to pass, and refactor for clarity.

Test-driven development is a cycle where you write a failing test, implement minimal code to pass it, and refactor for clarity. This Skill guides you through pytest workflows including fixtures and mock patterns to reinforce the Red-Green-Refactor cycle.
FIRST principles in test-driven development require tests to be Fast, Isolated, Repeatable, Self-validating, and Timely. This Skill guides you to apply these principles during your Red-Green-Refactor cycles to prevent over-engineering and validate API design.
Fixtures and mocks are used during the Red-Green-Refactor cycle to isolate tests and validate API design. This Skill provides practical workflows for applying mock patterns and pytest fixtures to ensure tests remain isolated and repeatable in real-world projects.
Yes, this test-driven development workflow is designed for individual developers and teams building small to medium Python features. It supports creating software with pytest, helping you quickly validate API design and write reliable test cycles.
Pants-based test runs are supported within the TDD workflow to maintain fast and reliable test cycles. This Skill provides guidance on executing these runs alongside pytest while practicing the Red-Green-Refactor methodology.
When writing pytest tests, you should avoid TDD anti-patterns that break isolation or repeatability. This Skill guides you in preventing over-engineering and maintaining clean design by adhering to FIRST principles throughout the refactoring phase.
