test-driven-development

Test-driven development improves software quality by writing tests before implementation code, ensuring comprehensive coverage and reducing debugging time. It enforces a structured red-green-refactor cycle that validates features against requirements immediately.

To start implementing a feature with TDD, run the command 'tdd start <feature-name>'. This initiates the process of writing minimal failing tests, then coding to pass them, and finally refactoring the implementation.

Yes, test-driven development integrates directly with existing testing frameworks. The framework supports automated testing processes by working alongside your current tools to validate code written during the TDD cycle.

Apply the red-green-refactor cycle by writing a failing test for a new feature, creating minimal code to make the test pass, and refactoring the code to improve structure without changing behavior.

Writing tests before implementation code for bug fixes ensures the specific issue is captured and prevents regressions. The TDD framework assists in generating these tests first to validate the fix before applying the code.

Use test-driven development instead of testing after coding to ensure comprehensive test coverage and reduce debugging time. It forces minimal, purposeful code design through immediate test validation.
