SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers enforce the Test-Driven Development (TDD) methodology, ensuring high-quality code by writing tests before implementing features.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • RED-GREEN-REFACTOR Cycle: A structured approach to develop software by writing a failing test (RED), making it pass with minimal code (GREEN), and then refactoring (REFACTOR).
  • Automated Testing: Executes tests using the terminal tool for immediate feedback and validation.
  • Integration with Hermes Agent: Leverages Hermes Agent's delegate_task and systematic-debugging features for task distribution and bug reproduction.
  • Use Case: When starting a new feature, the Skill guides the user to write a test, ensure it fails, implement the feature, and verify the test passes.

Quick Start

Use the test-driven-development skill to implement a new feature with TDD, following the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions about test-driven-development

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I implement test-driven development in my software project?▼

Test-driven development is implemented by guiding you through the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle: writing a failing test, writing minimal code to pass it, and then refactoring. This enforces high software quality by testing features before implementation.

What is the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle in TDD?▼

The RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle is a structured development approach where you write a failing test (RED), make it pass with minimal implementation code (GREEN), and then improve the code without changing behavior (REFACTOR).

Can I use this TDD workflow for complex software development projects?▼

Yes, this test-driven development workflow is specifically intended for developers who want to adopt TDD, especially when working on complex software projects requiring strict methodology and systematic debugging.

How does automated testing get executed during the TDD cycle?▼

Automated testing is executed using the terminal tool for immediate feedback and validation. It leverages Hermes Agent's delegate_task and systematic-debugging features for task distribution and bug reproduction.

What is the best way to ensure my new feature fails its test before implementation?▼

The best way to ensure a new feature fails its test is to follow the RED phase of the TDD cycle, where the Skill explicitly guides you to write a test and verify it fails before you implement any feature code.
