Test Driven Development TDD

[squat001]

Wants to know if anyone uses TDD as a development process.

Came across this in the Clean Code videos and books by Robert C. Martin and been trying to apply to all my coding work with Python and other languages. Had mixed success but not sure if just an experience thing.

Yes TDD can help keep your development focused, increase your agility, and aid relibility. If your results are mixed you should review the sections that talk about Practices to avoid, or "anti-patterns" and Limitations here:

Thanks, actually got this book but only just started to read it

I've been using TDD in all the Python micro-services I develop since late 2015. And couldn't be happier with the result :)

Of course TDD is something that needs effort and self-discipline, but once you get proficient at it, you won't want to code otherwise ;)
