Test-Driven Development is one of the few truly new Agile ideas. Originally created by Kent Beck as part of Extreme Programming, it’s a fantastic way of making sure your code does what you intended it to do. It’s not perfect, but it’s a powerful tool for creating robust and reliable software. Rainsberger.

It all has to be very reactive; you keep fiddling with the code until it gets traction. Under those conditions, it doesn’t make sense to cross all the t’s and dot the i’s as the life expectancy of the code is weeks or months. We see the same kinda thing with unit testing. So you build, pivot, build, pivot, etc.

The most successful software development movement of my lifetime is probably test-driven development or TDD. With TDD, requirements are turned into very specific test cases, then the code is improved so the tests pass. That step is observability driven development.

"Write your unit tests before your code," an adage that every developer knows by heart, in theory, but seldom practices it in reality. Test-Driven Development (TDD) is a novel concept that instructs developers to write unit test cases before writing even a single line of code.
