In many organizations, automated testing lags behind and becomes a bottleneck for successful continuous delivery. Either tests do not provide enough confidence or companies take a very traditional approach, resulting in releases either introducing substantial risks or becoming costly. These principles tell us our tests should be: Fast.

TDD is an Agile Development technique in which developers write test cases before writing the corresponding code for the user story assigned to him. Once the code passes the Acceptance test, the code is then refactored /simplified to be used as production code. How TDD is different than others?

A big problem in development, particularly when a lot of people are introverts, is communication. Because of this, leads in tight spaces, often develop the habit of bouncing around, every morning, to all of their people and just getting a one-on-one quick update. We see the same kinda thing with unit testing. But it got worse.

Because TDD is “test” driven development, people tend to think of TDD as “writing tests first.” In fact, TDD is not a testing activity per se. It is the creation of an executable specification prior to the creation of each system element.

In Agile development, a user story provides a simplified description of a software feature from an end user perspective. You can make your user stories stronger with techniques from behavior-driven development (BDD). To add an acceptance scenario to a story, we use Gherkin, a human-readable language for defining test cases.

In software development this can be translated into ‘prevent bugs from ending up in the codebase’. An example of the second category would be test – driven development where a test case is created before any code is developed and the tests need to pass before code can be submitted.

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. After all, observability is about understanding systems, which means more than just production. TDD goes platinum. But nothing’s perfect.
