TDD Workflow

Implements Test-Driven Development workflow for feature implementation.

Quick Start

Run TDD Cycle

from scripts.tdd_workflow import TDDWorkflow

workflow = TDDWorkflow(project_dir)
result = await workflow.implement_feature(
    feature_id="auth-001",
    acceptance_criteria=criteria
)

if result.passed:
    print("Feature implemented and verified!")

Individual Phases

# Red: Write failing test
test_path = await workflow.write_test(feature_id)

# Green: Implement to pass
await workflow.implement_code(feature_id)

# Refactor: Clean up
await workflow.refactor(feature_id)

TDD Principles

PrincipleDescription
Tests FirstAlways write tests before implementation
Minimal CodeWrite only enough code to pass tests
Small StepsMake incremental changes
Fast FeedbackRun tests frequently
Refactor OftenKeep code clean

Test Types

TypePurposeWhen to Write
UnitTest individual functionsRED phase
IntegrationTest component interactionAfter GREEN
E2ETest full feature flowVERIFY phase

Integration Points

  • coding-agent: Executes TDD workflow
  • browser-e2e-tester: Runs E2E tests
  • error-recoverer: Handle test failures
  • progress-tracker: Track test metrics
