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. When it comes to testing, my goal is to eliminate defects.

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.

Once we've found a seam, we can use it to break dependencies to simplify testing, insert probes to gain observability, and redirect program flow to new modules as part of legacy displacement. Micheal Feathers coined the term “seam” in the context of legacy systems in his book Working Effectively with Legacy Code.

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.

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. Each step should only take a few moments, and your tests should pass after each one. The tests passed again.

Editing is what helps the book or article make sense to the reader. For a developer working on updates or adding new features to an application, reading previous code that hasn’t been refactored is akin to reading a novel that hasn’t been properly edited.
