test-driven-development

To start test-driven development in Carbon, run the skill to initiate a TDD cycle, which begins by writing a failing test for your desired functionality before writing the actual code. This enforces test-first discipline and ensures reliable software quality.

The best way to structure automated testing in Carbon is using vitest to execute test-driven development cycles, ensuring code quality by validating features against written tests before implementation.

Yes, you need vitest installed to implement these test-driven development practices, as the skill specifically utilizes this framework for automated testing and executing TDD cycles within the Carbon environment.

Writing tests before code improves software quality by enforcing test-driven development discipline, ensuring every feature and bug fix is validated by automated tests using vitest before the implementation is finalized.

During Carbon development, you should avoid common testing pitfalls by following the skill's comprehensive best practices documentation, which provides specific guidelines and highlights anti-patterns to ensure reliable TDD implementation.
