Writing tests that help evolve a system is hard, and you get there by avoiding smart tests while preferring dumb ones. The Paradox of Smart Tests Smart is always better than dumb, isn’t it? This time we’ll look at the paradox that dumb programmer tests are superior to smart ones. Let’s dive in.

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.

The reasons we want to make the stories small are plentiful; it’s easier to manage, implement, fix, deploy, and test… just about anything we do as a software development team. For example; An audit log statement for every action in the system - is too big and will not deliver any value in a long time. And watch the test pass.

We see the same kinda thing with unit testing. Clearly, the best way to test any software is with fully automated ‘system’ testing that is thorough enough that it can be used for full regression testing. So, unit tests are great for ensuring that a few components amongst the whole set, have good quality.

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. When it comes to testing, my goal is to eliminate defects.

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. Each step should only take a few moments, and your tests should pass after each one. The tests passed again.
