Abstract

Test-Driven Development, known by its acronym TDD, is one of the many development approaches to have gained traction through the Agile software development movement. It is based on the idea of developing software using a test-first perspective: first, a failing executable test is written; then production software is written capable of passing the test. Accordingly, as its name suggests, the development of production software is being driven by the test. This chapter explores TDD.
