Test-driven development, , or TDD, is a rapid cycle of testing, coding, and refactoring. Done well, TDD eliminates an entire class of programming errors. When used properly, TDD also helps you improve your design, documents the behavior of your code, enables refactoring, and guards against future mistakes. Why TDD Works.

With TDD, you run the tests as often as one or two times every minute. If they don’t, you won’t be able to get feedback within 1-5 seconds, and that’s crucial for the TDD loop to work effectively. The “Application Infrastructure” episode of [Shore2020b] has an example. Use Broad Tests Only as a Safety Net.

Neural nets are also inherently stochastic, because GPU calculations around floating point operations are inherently nondeterministic. You can’t really write unit tests for this (nor practice TDD). Modern applications are dramatically more complex than they were a decade ago. Users will do things you can’t possibly predict.

As “A TDD Example” on p.XX Refactorings occur every few minutes, during the “Refactoring” step of the TDD cycle. When TDD is performed well, the design of individual modules and classes is beautiful: they’re simple, elegant, and convenient to use. During TDD, navigators should also consider the wider scope.
