What are we planning to achieve in this book?
Well, obviously, we want to get a better understanding of TDD – not just with theories but with actual usable and applicable understanding. We want to help ourselves write better codes that will benefit other developers who will work on your own codes as well. We want to be able to lay a foundation for how to write software that will be robust and sturdy, self-diagnosing, and more extensible.
We used a very simple analogy earlier using the clean my home to-do list to try to explain what TDD is and how it is done – but this will not be very exciting if it’s all just theory. In this book, we will try to implement TDD for real using an example project!
We will be building an example project that will help us do the following:
- Identify what a client or a business wants to achieve
- Translate those requirements into actual tickets
- Learn how to implement TDD and BDD
- Write clean codes following design patterns and best practices
- Automatically run all tests using continuous integration
- Automatically deploy our codes using continuous deployment
