Test-Driven Development (TDD) is a technique for building software that guides software development by writing tests. In essence we follow three simple steps repeatedly: Write a test for the next bit of functionality you want to add. Write the functional code until the test passes.

Disentangling Programming Concerns At first glance, all the activities I mentioned seem inseparable, like a big blob of spaghetti code. What do we want to achieve with the code we’re creating? In most cases, we need the ability to evolve the code. We introduce design to our software. How should it behave?
