Introducing tasking
Tasking is an essential step in the TDD process that involves breaking down a feature or user story into small, manageable tasks, which then serve as the basis for your test cases. The goal of tasking is to create a clear roadmap for what you’re going to code, how you’ll test it, and in what order you’ll proceed.
Breaking the big requirement into smaller chunks has a lot of benefits:
- It clarifies scope: Breaking down a feature into tasks helps establish a better understanding of what needs to be done and how to approach it
- It simplifies the problem: By dissecting a complex problem into smaller tasks, you make it easier to tackle
- It prioritizes work: Once the tasks have been laid out, they can be prioritized to deliver the most value first or to build logically upon one another
- It focuses effort: Tasking ensures that each test you write serves a clear, immediate purpose, making your TDD cycle more efficient
- It facilitates...
