Conductor's TDD workflow guides you through the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle for each task. It standardizes git commits, manages phase checkpoints, and enforces quality assurance gates including coverage targets and passing tests.

To implement tasks using a TDD development process, follow the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR lifecycle. Write failing tests first, implement code to pass them, refactor, then update git commits and plan files before verifying phase completion.

The workflow standardizes git commit messages and git notes while defining a phase completion protocol. This ensures completed phases are properly verified and checkpointed, maintaining traceability through plan file updates.

Quality assurance gates in the TDD workflow enforce coverage targets, passing tests, and style compliance. These checkpoints must be satisfied before completing a phase and committing code within the Conductor framework.

The TDD workflow provides a structured approach to deviation handling for documenting scope or technical deviations. This ensures all variations are properly recorded for traceability and project management within the Conductor framework.

Prior testing experience helps, but the workflow guides you through the entire TDD task lifecycle from test writing to commit. It provides phase checkpoints and quality assurance gates to ensure adherence to testing best practices.
