SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps developers practice test-driven development to ensure failing tests guide implementation and prevent regressions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces writing failing tests before any production code.
  • Guides the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle to drive minimal, correct implementations.
  • Supports refactoring with confidence by maintaining test coverage across features or bug fixes.

Quick Start

Write a failing test for the desired behavior, then implement the minimal code required to make it pass in one iteration.

FAQPage Schema
How do I practice test-driven development for feature work and bug fixes?

To practice test-driven development, write a failing test for the desired behavior before any production code, then implement the minimal logic required to make it pass. This enforces strict test-first discipline for features and bug fixes.

What is the red-green-refactor cycle in TDD?

The red-green-refactor cycle is a TDD mechanism where you write a failing test, implement minimal code to pass it, and then refactor while maintaining test coverage. It drives correct implementations through clear phases.

Can I apply test-driven development to refactoring existing code?

Yes, you can apply test-driven development to refactoring. By enforcing failing tests before production code changes, you support refactoring with confidence and maintain test coverage across features.

What's the best way to ensure correct behavior before coding in fintech projects?

The best way to ensure correct behavior is applying test-driven development to identify and implement features. It requires guiding rules and minimal implementation through the red-green-refactor cycle to prevent regressions across fintech projects.

Why write failing tests before any production code?

Writing failing tests before production code ensures that tests guide implementation and prevent regressions. It enforces strict test-first discipline by requiring minimal implementation only after a test fails.
