Contents
Test-Driven Development (TDD) is a software development practice from Extreme Programming (XP) and Software Craft. TDD increases code coverage, leads to fast tests, and supports continuous refactoring and continuous design improvement. Some benefits of TDD include developing faster with fewer errors, reducing debug time, lean development, better design, quick feedback, and eliminating fear for continuous refactoring. Last but not least, TDD drives decoupled and thus better quality software architecture.
