Test-Driven Development. It’s test-driven development, and it actually delivers these results. Test-driven development, , or TDD, is a rapid cycle of testing, coding, and refactoring. Done well, TDD eliminates an entire class of programming errors. Why TDD Works.

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.

From a management standpoint, Test-Driven Development (TDD) can be a difficult sell. It involves a relatively large upfront investment, has no obvious business benefits, and (most important of all) the customer is paying for functionality, not tests.
