To share your thoughts, join the AoAD2 open review mailing list. Test-driven development, , or TDD, is a rapid cycle of testing, coding, and refactoring. Done well, TDD eliminates an entire class of programming errors. TDD isn’t perfect, of course. TDD is difficult to add to legacy codebases. Why TDD Works.
