Test-Driven Development. You can also use the unit tests as documentation and a safety net. If you’re not sure how something works, change it anyway and see what the tests say. An effective test suite will tell you when your assumptions are wrong. You can use characterization tests to refactor safely.

When programmers use test-driven development (TDD), the code they test interacts with other parts of the system that aren't being tested. To test those interactions, and to prevent the other code from interfering with their tests, programmers often use mock objects or other test doubles.

With a name like TEST-driven development you’d expect TDD is mostly about testing. Especially when the end result is tests. In our book Design Patterns Explained we discussed how testability (how easily code can be tested) is an intrinsic property of software and is highly correlated with good design.

We’ve known for a long time, before Agile was even named, that there are good practices the development team should do. They should test their code, they should review their code, they should integrate with other teams building programs, they should work with the business and make sure that we’re building the right thing.
