Test-driven development (TDD) has been around for more than 20 years. Nearly all of the greats in software underline it as an important and valuable method. Many people think of TDD as a methodology for testing because of its name. You might see testing as something boring you have to do to prove that the code you wrote works.

Sometimes, the coding task in front of you can be overwhelmingly complex. To tackle each operation, I started with a small test, following the principles of Test-Driven Development (TDD). Then, you implement a portion of the code that fulfills the test’s requirements. Clean up the code, and repeat.
