SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Writing and maintaining tests can be tedious and error-prone; this skill enforces a Red-Green-Refactor workflow to ensure tests drive design and prevent regression.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Red-Green-Refactor cycle: write failing test first, implement minimal code, then refactor while keeping tests green.
  • Test naming guidance and templates: provides conventions and examples to improve test clarity and coverage.
  • Use case: when adding a feature or fixing a bug, follow the TDD cycle to capture requirements via tests and guide implementation.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to draft a failing test for the desired behavior, then implement the minimal code and refactor for a clean, green suite.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce a test-driven development workflow when writing new code?

To enforce a test-driven development workflow, you follow a strict Red-Green-Refactor cycle where you write a failing test first, implement minimal code, and then refactor while keeping tests green.

What is the Red-Green-Refactor cycle in TDD?

The Red-Green-Refactor TDD cycle is a test-first workflow: you write a failing test to capture requirements, implement the minimal code to pass it, and then refactor the implementation for clean design.

Can I use test-driven development for both bug fixes and feature development?

Yes, you can use test-driven development for both bug fixes and feature development, applying the structured phases to capture requirements via tests and guide the implementation to prevent regressions.

How do I write effective tests before implementation using TDD?

To write effective tests before implementation using TDD, you draft a failing test for the desired behavior using provided naming conventions and templates, ensuring tests drive the design and improve clarity.

Does test-driven development provide templates for test naming conventions?

Yes, test-driven development provides test naming guidance and templates, offering conventions and examples to improve test clarity and coverage throughout the Red-Green-Refactor cycle.
