| # WRITING GOOD TESTS FOR (YOU|EVERYONE) using TDD/BDD | |
| When I was looking how to program in Python, I've stumbled upon a lot of articles and most of them were mentioning | |
| that I should learn it using the TDD approach as well. TDD stands for 'Test-Driven Development'. Not only it helps you | |
| to maintain the project if needs improvements in the future, but to others as well. | |
| So, I've learned the Python basics and at the same time, I was implementing TDD. Some programmers ask you to first | |
| create the test case file (in our case with Ruby and Puppet, the 'spec/*/*_spec.rb' file), create the tests cases, run | |
| those tests cases (they will fail naturally because you didn't put any code yet) and judging from what you want to achieve, | |
| you finally create your code to solve the tests cases and thus implement the feature your code would solve it. |
