Test-driven development (TDD) is a way of writing code that involves writing an automated unit-level test case that fails, then writing just enough code to make the test pass, then refactoring both the test code and the production code, then repeating with another new test case.
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.

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.
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 ...
Test driven development proceeds by quickly cycling through the following steps, with each step taking minutes at most, preferably much less. Since each user story will usually require one to two days of work, a very large number of such cycles will be necessary per story.
Acceptance testing of an aircraft catapult Six of the primary mirrors of the James Webb Space Telescope being prepared for acceptance testing. In engineering and its various subdisciplines, acceptance testing is a test conducted to determine if the requirements of a specification or contract are met.
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]
