The Goal of TDD is to write Clean code that works.

Test Driven Development What is Test-Driven Development Methodology-TDD Cycle How can the QA Support TDD TDD and Continuous Integration TDD Benefits Case Study -Results

What is Test-Driven Development Write a "single" unit test describing an aspect of the program Run the test, which should fail because the program lacks that feature Write "just enough" code, the simplest possible, to make the test pass “Refactor" Over and Over till your code does what it is Supposed to do. Repeat, Until You end up with Solid code and Proof that it works in the form of Unit Tests TDD starts with developing test for each one of the features. The test might fail as the tests are developed even before the development. Development team then develops and refactors the code to pass the test.

TDD Cycle

To Facilitate on Negative Testing How can the QA Support TDD Mentoring the developer to facilitate the Knowledge transfer around test analysis and design To Facilitate on Negative Testing

TDD and Continuous Integration

Code proven to meet requirements Benefits of TDD Much less debug time Code proven to meet requirements Lower the costs in maintaining Near zero defects Shorter development cycles
