SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

TDD Workflow provides a structured approach to software development by enforcing a cycle of writing tests first, then implementing minimal code to pass, and finally refactoring for quality.

Core Features & Use Cases

Enforces RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle to guide development
Documents the Three Laws and AAA testing pattern to improve test coverage
Useful for teams adopting TDD in feature delivery, education, and code reviews

Quick Start

Run through a RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle for a new feature by writing a failing test, implementing the minimal code to pass, and refactoring for clarity.

FAQPage Schema

What is the test-driven development workflow for writing clean code?▼

The test-driven development workflow enforces a RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle: write a failing test, implement minimum viable code to pass, and then refactor for quality.

How do I apply the AAA testing pattern to guide feature development?▼

Apply the AAA testing pattern by structuring tests into Arrange, Act, and Assert phases. This pattern documents requirements and improves test coverage during feature delivery.

Can I use this TDD workflow for code reviews and education?▼

Yes, this TDD workflow applies to code reviews and education. It specifies structured requirements for test-first development to help teams adopt reliable software delivery cycles.

Do I need specific testing frameworks to start the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle?▼

No specific testing frameworks are required. You run through a RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle by writing a failing test, implementing minimal code to pass, and refactoring for clarity.

What are the Three Laws of TDD for software development?▼

The Three Laws of TDD govern test-first development by specifying structured requirements for writing tests before implementation, ensuring minimum viable code passes, and safe refactoring.
