Breaking the Bug Cycle: TDD for the Win
#1about 5 minutes
Understanding the traditional development bug cycle
The standard software development lifecycle often leads to a bug cycle due to changing requirements, code complexity, and a lack of testing.
#2about 5 minutes
Introducing the core principles of test-driven development
TDD is a software development mindset that follows a red-green-refactor cycle, governed by three rules that prioritize writing tests before production code.
#3about 2 minutes
Exploring the key benefits of adopting TDD
Adopting TDD leads to early bug detection, creates living documentation through tests, and improves confidence in refactoring and overall code design.
#4about 2 minutes
Managing code complexity and common development styles
TDD helps manage accidental complexity by focusing on refactoring, which contrasts with common pitfalls like over-engineering or brute-force approaches.
#5about 2 minutes
Integrating generative AI into the TDD workflow
Generative AI can accelerate TDD by creating initial tests from user stories, but developers must carefully review the output to avoid overcomplication.
#6about 3 minutes
How TDD enhances continuous integration and coverage
TDD naturally integrates with CI/CD pipelines to provide real-time feedback and ensures 100% code coverage, verifying that all code is tested.
#7about 2 minutes
Building a sustainable culture of clean code
TDD promotes a culture of writing clean, understandable code by addressing code smells, managing technical debt, and improving developer onboarding.
