Why do I favour practices like developer testing, TDD, refactoring and continuous integration? It's to enable rapid & sustained evolution of production-ready software. The odds of delivering the right thing in a single pass are so remote that many iterations are likely required. And even when we hit the bullseye, it's almost always a moving target. Not least because putting software into an environment has a tendency to change that environment and the problems we need to solve.

A better way to design your code TEST DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT(TDD) TDD is a valuable practice in software development that can lead to more robust, maintainable, and reliable codebases. It fosters a culture of testability and helps developers build better software through an iterative and incremental process.

TDD is a wonderfully fine art. As with all buzz words, most people say it but few actually do it. Ultimately, achieving real continuous delivery requires the same care over abstractions, logic, and nuance in the test suite as in designing the software under test. Such cleanliness and efficiency is a lost - or barely achieved - art that impacts every substantial project. And of course, "continuous delivery" means you can sleep at night even if bad code means grave consequences.

How you incorporate TDD in your QA process? ✏️ Incorporating Test-Driven Development (TDD) into the QA process involves writing automated tests before writing the actual code. This ensures that the code meets the specified requirements and functions correctly. By following TDD principles, QA teams can create more robust and reliable software products while also facilitating faster development cycles.

Thought provoking session, thanks to Venkat Subramaniam 🇺🇦 ✌️ Key take always 1. Continuous integration- Prerequisite 2. Continious delivery - the end goal Doing manual testing or deployment in software development in 2024 is just not acceptable. Follow TDD The success of a product journey depends in its good quality code. And last but not the least 👇

Clean Code: 🚀 Embracing the F.I.R.S.T Rule for Clean Tests! 🧪 ------------------------------------------------------------------- Hey everyone, 👋 Let's explore the F.I.R.S.T rule for clean testing, a crucial notion that every software developer should bear in mind when writing reliable and maintainable code. 🧼 🔍 Fast: Speed matters, and this rule emphasizes the importance of writing tests that run quickly. When tests run slow, you won’t want to run them frequently. If you don’t run them frequently, you won’t find problems early enough to fix them easily. 📚 Independent: Tests should be independent of each other, meaning they don't rely on specific execution order or the state left behind by other tests. When tests depend on each other, then the first one to fail causes a cascade of downstream failures, making diagnosis difficult and hiding downstream defects. 📦 Repeatable: Tests should be repeatable in any environment. You should be able to run the tests in the production environment, in the QA environment, and on your laptop while riding home on the train without a network. This makes debugging and troubleshooting much smoother, as you can be confident that a test failure isn't due to environmental discrepancies. 📖 Self-Validating: The tests should have a boolean output. Either they pass or fail. This self-validating nature makes it easier to understand the status of your codebase and encourages swift corrective action. 🔧 Timely: Timely tests aid in detecting issues early, when they're still manageable and less likely to cause a ripple effect throughout your code. If you write tests after the production code, then you may find the production code to be hard to test. So, unit tests should be written just before the production code. https://lnkd.in/gvkzUwcR Let's keep our tests quick, our code organized, and our projects productive! 💡💻 #softwaredevelopment #unittesting #cleancode #agiledevelopment

I help .NET developers advance their careers by mastering the latest tech and industry best practices.
Want to start with Test-Driven Development (TDD), but don't know how? Here is how you can use TDD while fixing bugs: 1. Write a test for the bug you want to fix. 2. Run the test and see that it fails. 3. Change the code to fix the bug. 4. Watch the test turns green. Congrats, you now have: - Code that is covered with a test - Confidence that the same bug won't occur ever again

In the software industry, where most developers think that: - CI is a build server - TDD is equal to testing - DevOps is a role in a team - Code coverage is a quality metric - Rewriting is the same as refactoring - Using feature branches is a best practice - Software engineering is only about coding Then we shouldn't be surprised by all the low-quality software products. By changing these beliefs, we can create better software.
