SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Provides structured guidance for teams to implement Test-Driven Development by outlining the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle, test naming conventions, and phase discipline to improve code quality and feedback loops.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Defines the standard TDD cycle (RED, GREEN, REFACTOR) and associated rules.
  • Details how to write tests, how to iterate between phases, and how to maintain test quality.
  • Suitable for any codebase seeking disciplined test-first development and measurable progress.

Quick Start

Follow the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle to write failing tests first, then implement code to pass them.

Frequently Asked Questions about tdd-workflow

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
What is the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle in test-driven development?▼

Test-driven development improves code quality and feedback loops by enforcing a structured test-first approach, requiring you to write failing tests before implementation and applying disciplined test naming conventions.

How do I implement a test-first workflow for my software project?▼

To implement a test-first workflow, follow the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle: write failing tests first, implement the minimum code to pass them, and then refactor while maintaining disciplined test naming conventions.

Can I apply this test-driven development workflow to any programming language?▼

Yes, this test-driven development workflow applies to coding tasks across languages and projects, providing structured guidance for any codebase seeking disciplined test-first development and measurable progress.

What are the best practices for test naming in TDD?▼

Best practices for test naming in TDD involve maintaining disciplined test naming conventions throughout the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle to ensure code quality and clear feedback loops.

When should I not use a strict test-driven development approach?▼

You should reconsider a strict test-driven development approach if your coding tasks lack measurable progress requirements, as it enforces rigid phase discipline and continuous test quality maintenance.
