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. What is the primary goal of Test Driven Development (TDD)?

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. Unit tests are a very useful by-product of this process.

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