With a name like TEST-driven development you’d expect TDD is mostly about testing. Especially when the end result is tests. In our book Design Patterns Explained we discussed how testability (how easily code can be tested) is an intrinsic property of software and is highly correlated with good design.

This is how the developer story used to go: You do your coding work once, then you ship it to production—only to find out the code (or its dependencies) has security or other vulnerabilities. TDD goes platinum. TDD is considered the gold standard of shift-left testing for a reason. But nothing’s perfect.

This article is part of a series in which I’m doing a well-known code kata in the “TDD as if you meant it” style. On the one hand, these articles give us a chance to dive deep into writing code via TDD and refactoring. Look for opportunities to increase the symmetry and self-similarity in your code.

You’ll be relieved to hear that you’re in the majority, and also that there are quick (and easy) steps you can do to prove that instrumenting your code is worthwhile. For most languages and frameworks, adding in basic auto-instrumentation is a few lines of code. Observability-Driven Development + Test-Driven Development.

Many books have been written on the concept of quality and the Wikipedia page on quality provides the following summary: . In software development this can be translated into ‘prevent bugs from ending up in the codebase’. This provides very high coverage but requires more effort during development. .
