Test Driven Development
As technology keeps on advancing development processes keeps getting more complex and rigid, so Test Driven Development ( #testdrivendevelopment TDD) a style of development was created to help developers test new features and components that they add to their projects to ensure that the project is up and running without any runtime error or bug.
Is TDD Important? Many developers ask this question, and the plain answer is yes. Imagine working on a large project and you have to check every feature and component of the project to make sure they are running without errors; in this scenario you might accidentally miss out one or two components that really needs your review and this might lead to the entire project crashing, leaving you in a confused state because you’ll have to manually track were the error is coming from and in most cases you don’t find them. In TDD having this same scenario it would be easier for the developer to check out the status of every feature and component without any stress, if an error is eventually encountered the developer can easily track where the error is coming from.
TDD also plays an important role in collaboration between developers working on the same project, with TDD messy codes will be easily filtered out and errors would be fixed easily with everyone in the team easily carried along.
How Do You Implement TDD? Different frameworks and libraries has different ways of writing tests so the best advice is that you should read the official documentations of how to write tests on your preferred framework. If you are using GitHub to manage your project codebase you can learn more about GitHub Actions here: docs.github.com/en/actions
