TDD Automation Flow

The faster the feedback loop, the more effective your TDD process becomes.

Local Automation

Use file watchers to run your tests immediately upon saving a file.

Python (pytest-watch)

ptw .

JavaScript (Jest/Vitest)

npm test -- --watch

Essential Flow

  1. Save file -> Tests run automatically.
  2. If Fail: Write code to pass.
  3. If Pass: Refactor and repeat.

CI/CD Integration

TDD doesn't stop at the local machine. Use Git hooks and CI pipelines to enforce the testing discipline.

  • Pre-commit hooks: Run linting and fast unit tests before allowing a commit.
  • PR Gates: Prevent merging code that doesn't have 100% test pass rate.
  • Coverage Reports: Monitor test coverage as a metric for team health (not a target!).
