I like to use Test-Driven Development (TDD) when coding. Writing tests only makes sense after the solution is viable. Last week, I came across examples of where I developed new functionality without using TDD. There were two cases where I didn’t start with tests.

Once the code passes the Acceptance test, the code is then refactored /simplified to be used as production code. TDD focuses on writing the necessary code to pass the test thus making the process simple and clear. What is the primary goal of Test Driven Development (TDD)? Test Driven Development Approach.

When working with a legacy system it is valuable to identify and create seams: places where we can alter the behavior of the system without editing source code. Micheal Feathers coined the term “seam” in the context of legacy systems in his book Working Effectively with Legacy Code. But seams have more uses than that.

It reduces the cost of testing and supports keeping long-term, high-development velocities. Test automation is not a project or a one-off—it is part of the development lifecycle and should be seen as its own system that needs to evolve over time as the requirements and system under test change and mature.
