If this is not commonly accepted as part of ‘Done’, you might find automated test cases become a thing at the bottom of your backlog that becomes hard to plan or get budget for. When writing tests, it is good to stick to the F.I.R.S.T principles of testing (popularized by the book Clean Code by Robert C Martin ).

James Shore, author of the book “The Art of Agile”, wrote an article that covers the alternatives to acceptance testing. The way you write an acceptance test is to take a user story and then write code that tests the end result of a software process. Preventing Programming Errors with TDD.

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.

Test-Driven Development. Technically, you can refactor at any time, but unless your IDE has provably-safe refactorings, it’s best to do it when you have a good suite of tests that are all passing. The definitive guide is Martin Fowler’s eponymous book, Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Code. Constantly.

I recently wrote a long series of posts here on various topics about Test-Driven Development. I ended up writing so many of them, they resulted in a little book I published through Amazon Kindle Direct called The TDD Companion. I’ve started to hand out copies of this book to student in my TDD courses.

Observability-driven development is the subject of Chapter 11 in our new O’Reilly Book: Observability Engineering: Achieving Production Excellence , and our interactive Authors’ Cut webinar. TDD goes platinum. We’ve been living in a “shift-left” or “shift testing left” world for a while with test-driven development (TDD).

Test-Driven Development. This does raise the question: if you can’t see your changes, how do you test them? The answer, of course, is test-driven development and narrow tests. Test-driven development allows you to code what you to mean to code without actually seeing it run.

And in an Agile Dojo, typically a team comes together, either because there is a specific development skill that they want to practice, such as, for example, test-driven development, or perhaps they want to practice how they start and stop their programming sessions or how they pair program.
