SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

TDD Workflow provides a structured approach to software development by enforcing a cycle of writing tests first, then implementing minimal code to pass, and finally refactoring for quality.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle to guide development
  • Documents the Three Laws and AAA testing pattern to improve test coverage
  • Useful for teams adopting TDD in feature delivery, education, and code reviews

Quick Start

Run through a RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle for a new feature by writing a failing test, implementing the minimal code to pass, and refactoring for clarity.

FAQPage Schema
What is the test-driven development workflow for writing clean code?▼

The test-driven development workflow enforces a RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle: write a failing test, implement minimum viable code to pass, and then refactor for quality.

How do I apply the AAA testing pattern to guide feature development?▼

Apply the AAA testing pattern by structuring tests into Arrange, Act, and Assert phases. This pattern documents requirements and improves test coverage during feature delivery.

Can I use this TDD workflow for code reviews and education?▼

Yes, this TDD workflow applies to code reviews and education. It specifies structured requirements for test-first development to help teams adopt reliable software delivery cycles.

Do I need specific testing frameworks to start the RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle?▼

No specific testing frameworks are required. You run through a RED-GREEN-REFACTOR cycle by writing a failing test, implementing minimal code to pass, and refactoring for clarity.

What are the Three Laws of TDD for software development?▼

The Three Laws of TDD govern test-first development by specifying structured requirements for writing tests before implementation, ensuring minimum viable code passes, and safe refactoring.
