Project Managers and Product Owners are sometimes dubious about the development team doing TDD. They are concerned that the team will slow down because they’ve been burdened with additional work, and that developers might “game” the system with bogus tests to satisfy the process.

With TDD, you run the tests as often as one or two times every minute. If they don’t, you won’t be able to get feedback within 1-5 seconds, and that’s crucial for the TDD loop to work effectively. Fast, reliable tests are a game changer. If you use TDD correctly, broad tests shouldn’t be needed. Here’s how.

Here's the thing about TDD. The definition of TDD is that you don't write code without a failing test, and you do so in a tight loop that covers one branch at a time. So if you're doing TDD, any code you want to cover is ipso facto covered. If people don't know how to do TDD properly, code coverage metrics won't help.

MARCH 16, 2023

Some people invented a fun little game called “test driven development” (TDD). The problem is that as often is the case, some other people figured that this game was something that everyone should do, all of the time. There are few external forces that can do that automatically, TDD is not one of them. But it got worse.

Fully adopting the Test Driven Development (TDD) practice helps, as this ensures that any new or changed code will always have tests. Even if you don’t fully adopt the TDD approach, writing a few tests each time you fix a bug — to prove the solution is viable or check if the new feature meets requirements — is a good start.

Here, we'll take a practical approach to understanding shift left security and why it's a game-changer for DevOps. TDD addresses the intent or the "why" behind the code being written. With TDD, the quality of the code is enhanced and tested frequently to ensure that the code being written is executed successfully.

David: Well, I think the first question I would ask a manager in that position is why do you want your engineers to do TDD? And it’s so spotty, I’m not happy with it, they resisted.

The debate has ended, and the conclusion is: TDD works. Test Driven Development (TDD) for those that are unfamiliar with it, is more or less a "game" to be played while coding, with a set of three "laws" orienting a programmer's efforts. It's just that I don't think fun comes from playing silly little games while working.
