A graphical representation of the test-driven development lifecycle. The TDD steps vary somewhat by author in count and description, but are generally as follows. These are based on the book Test-Driven Development by Example, [6] and Kent Beck's Canon TDD article. [8] 1. List scenarios for the new feature List the expected variants in the new ...
In test-driven development tests are used to drive the implementation towards fulfilling the requirements. Tester-driven development instead shortcuts the process by removing the determination of requirements and letting the testers (or the QA team) drive what they think the software should be through the testing (or QA) process.

Highly abstract or novel new concepts can be difficult to understand without concrete examples. [citation needed] Specification by example is intended to construct an accurate understanding, and significantly reduces feedback loops in software development, leading to less rework, higher product quality, faster turnaround time for software changes and better alignment of activities of various ...
Acceptance test–driven development (ATDD) is a development methodology based on communication between the business customers, the developers, and the testers. [1] ATDD encompasses many of the same practices as specification by example (SBE), [2] [3] behavior-driven development (BDD), [4] example-driven development (EDD), [5] and support-driven development also called story test–driven ...
Test automation, mostly using unit testing, is a key feature of extreme programming and agile software development, where it is known as test-driven development (TDD) or test-first development. Unit tests can be written to define the functionality before the code is written.
In test-driven development (TDD), unit tests are written while the production code is written. Starting with working code, the developer adds test code for a required behavior, then adds just enough code to make the test pass, then refactors the code (including test code) as makes sense and then repeats by adding another test.
Continuous test-driven development (CTDD) [1] is a software development practice that extends test-driven development (TDD) by means of automatic test execution in the background, sometimes called continuous testing. [2]
One agile practice, test-driven software development (TDD), is a way of unit testing such that unit-level testing is performed while writing the product code. [69] Test code is updated as new features are added and failure conditions are discovered (bugs fixed).
