Observability-driven development is the subject of Chapter 11 in our new O’Reilly Book: Observability Engineering: Achieving Production Excellence , and our interactive Authors’ Cut webinar. TDD goes platinum. We’ve been living in a “shift-left” or “shift testing left” world for a while with test-driven development (TDD).

I recently wrote a long series of posts here on various topics about Test-Driven Development. I ended up writing so many of them, they resulted in a little book I published through Amazon Kindle Direct called The TDD Companion. I’ve started to hand out copies of this book to student in my TDD courses.

Test-Driven Development. Technically, you can refactor at any time, but unless your IDE has provably-safe refactorings, it’s best to do it when you have a good suite of tests that are all passing. The definitive guide is Martin Fowler’s eponymous book, Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code. Constantly.

James Shore, author of the book “The Art of Agile”, wrote an article that covers the alternatives to acceptance testing. The way you write an acceptance test is to take a user story and then write code that tests the end result of a software process. Preventing Programming Errors with TDD.

Observability-Driven Development + Test-Driven Development. Coupling TDD with an approach of observability first is the superpower you didn’t know you had. In addition, this is now part of your workflow of developing the feature, and no longer a separate task to build and validate them.

And in an Agile Dojo, typically a team comes together, either because there is a specific development skill that they want to practice, such as, for example, test-driven development, or perhaps they want to practice how they start and stop their programming sessions or how they pair program.

Even so, I found this book quite valuable. Particularly the chapters on how to systematically come up with test cases based on the specification, inputs, outputs and the structure of the implementation. He has also worked for several years as a developer. Structural Testing and Code Coverage. Test-driven development.

Over a decade ago, when Test-Driven Development (TDD) was introduced, it promised to improve productivity and quality. Since then, release cycles shortened, CI/CD is no longer a buzzword, and new companies that develop pipeline automation products – I’m looking at you GitLab – are mature enough to IPO.

Test-Driven Development. This does raise the question: if you can’t see your changes, how do you test them? The answer, of course, is test-driven development and narrow tests. Test-driven development allows you to code what you to mean to code without actually seeing it run.
