test-driven-development

To start test-driven development, you write a failing test, implement minimal code to pass, and refactor safely. This workflow applies to Python using pytest, TypeScript using Vitest, and Emacs Lisp using ERT.

The red-green-refactor cycle is a test-driven development workflow where you write a failing test, implement the minimal code required to make it pass, and then refactor the code safely without breaking functionality.

Yes, this test-driven development workflow supports unit, integration, and end-to-end testing tiers. It provides ready-to-use boilerplate templates and clear patterns to structure your tests across Python, TypeScript, and Emacs Lisp projects.

You can analyze and enforce code coverage thresholds using the provided coverage analysis scripts. These scripts integrate into your test-driven development workflow to ensure your red-green-refactor cycles maintain reliable code verification.

Yes, test-driven development works with Emacs Lisp projects using the ERT testing framework. The workflow provides specific test templates and reference guides to apply the red-green-refactor cycle effectively in Emacs Lisp environments.

Test-driven development ensures code is verified from the start, preventing bugs, regressions, and fragile designs. By applying a structured red-green-refactor workflow, developers improve overall code quality and confidence in software creation.
