test-driven-development

Test-driven development is a test-first practice where you write a failing test (RED), implement minimal code to pass it (GREEN), and then refactor. This cycle ensures correct functionality and produces high-quality, robust code.

To start test-driven development, activate the framework to learn test-first principles. You write a failing test defining the desired feature behavior, then write minimal production code to pass it.

Yes, understanding TDD principles and test automation tools is required. The framework provides guidelines for writing clear, minimal tests, but you must know how to execute and automate them.

Common test-driven development anti-patterns include writing overly complex or meaningless tests. The framework provides a specific list of common pitfalls to avoid, ensuring tests remain clear, minimal, and maintainable.

Yes, test-first development applies to new feature development, bug fixes, and refactoring tasks. You write tests defining the expected correct behavior before altering the code to ensure robust functionality.
