TDD saved the day

Xebia

JUNE 6, 2023

To tackle each operation, I started with a small test, following the principles of Test-Driven Development (TDD). If the tests became too complex, I knew something was missing. This was convenient as it allowed me to maintain a TDD flow without external dependencies. Truly, TDD saved the day!

A Next Step Beyond Test Driven Development

Honeycomb

JUNE 23, 2020

The most successful software development movement of my lifetime is probably test-driven development or TDD. With TDD, requirements are turned into very specific test cases, then the code is improved so the tests pass. That step is observability driven development.
