Test-Driven Development (TDD) is a design engineering process that relies on a very short development cycle. A TDD approach to software development requires a thorough review of the requirements or design before any functional code is written. The development process is started by writing the test case, then the code to pass the test and then refactoring until completion.

Benefits of a TDD approach to software engineering include:
Faster feedback
Higher Acceptance
Avoids scope creep and over engineering
Customer centric and iterative
Leads to modular, flexible, maintainable code

In this course, you will learn about unit tests, user stories, design, refactoring, frameworks, and how to apply them to existing solutions. In addition, this course explores the implications of code dependencies, fluid requirements, and early detection of issues. This course demonstrates the skills developers and teams need for building quality applications sustainably, with quality, for the life of the code base
