One of the success factors for Agile and DevOps is developers changing the way they work and adopting practices like Test-Driven Development (TDD). It’s not something that just happens by itself, and many of the “usual” ways of introducing change fail for TDD.

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 often uses unit tests to drive behavior into the system. However, sometimes acceptance tests are used to do this. When these are automated, this can give us clues as to how to make our work in TDD more reusable.

TDD, when conducted as a specifying activity, is an aspect of Behavior-Driven Development (BDD). Behavior is what we specify and is what we “drive” into the system using tests. Therefore, when structuring the tests in TDD we can be guided by the language of BDD: Given, When, Then.

Ideally in TDD, no more than one test is ever failing at any given point in time. This test represents the work that is about to be done but hasn’t yet.

Part of the TDD process consists of writing failing tests before the code that will eventually make them pass. Test-first alone is not TDD per se, but it is a part of it. When tests are written before production code, this has several beneficial effects.

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.
