--- name: tdd description: Test-driven development with red-green-refactor loop. 当用户需要测试驱动、TDD、red-green-refactor、集成测试、测试优先开发、单元测试时使用。 This produces **crap tests**: - Tests written in bulk test _imagined_ behavior, not _actual_ behavior - You end up testing the _shape_ of things (data structures, function signatures) rather than user-facing behavior - Tests become insensitive to real changes - they pass when behavior breaks, fail when behavior is fine - You outrun your headlights, committing to test structure before understanding the implementation **Correct approach**: Vertical slices via tracer bullets. One test → one implementation → repeat. Each test responds to what you learned from the previous cycle. Because you just wrote the code, you know exactly what behavior matters and how to verify it. ``` WRONG (horizontal): RED: test1, test2, test3, test4, test5 GREEN: impl1, impl2, impl3, impl4, impl5 RIGHT (vertical): RED→GREEN: test1→impl1 RED→GREEN: test2→impl2 RED→GREEN: test3→impl3 ... ``` ## Workflow ### 1. Planning When exploring the codebase, use the project's domain glossary so that test names and interface vocabulary match the project's language, and respect ADRs in the area you're touching. Before writing any code: - [ ] Confirm with user what interface changes are needed - [ ] Confirm with user which behaviors to test (prioritize) - [ ] Identify opportunities for [deep modules](deep-modules.md) (small interface, deep implementation) - [ ] Design interfaces for [testability](interface-design.md) - [ ] List the behaviors to test (not implementation steps) - [ ] Get user approval on the plan Ask: "What should the public interface look like? Which behaviors are most important to test?" **You can't test everything.** Confirm with the user exactly which behaviors matter most. Focus testing effort on critical paths and complex logic, not every possible edge case. ### 2. Tracer Bullet Write ONE test that confirms ONE thing about the system: ``` RED: Write test for first behavior → test fails GREEN: Write minimal code to pass → test passes ``` This is your tracer bullet - proves the path works end-to-end. ### 3. Incremental Loop For each remaining behavior: ``` RED: Write next test → fails GREEN: Minimal code to pass → passes ``` Rules: - One test at a time - Only enough code to pass current test - Don't anticipate future tests - Keep tests focused on observable behavior ### 4. Refactor After all tests pass, look for [refactor candidates](refactoring.md): - [ ] Extract duplication - [ ] Deepen modules (move complexity behind simple interfaces) - [ ] Apply SOLID principles where natural - [ ] Consider what new code reveals about existing code - [ ] Run tests after each refactor step **Never refactor while RED.** Get to GREEN first. ## Checklist Per Cycle ``` [ ] Test describes behavior, not implementation [ ] Test uses public interface only [ ] Test would survive internal refactor [ ] Code is minimal for this test [ ] No speculative features added ```
