steps involved in test-driven development

As Django co-founder Jacob Kaplan-Moss says, “code without tests is broken as designed.” That’s why it’s essential to develop your applications with tests and success conditions in mind.

This course is an introduction to test-driven development and a practical guide on applying these principles to Django development. You’ll start with the purpose of automated testing, including the differences between test-driven development and development-driven testing. You’ll then be introduced to Django, a Python framework for building web applications. You’ll design and write a series of unit tests before building a complete web application using Django—a web application that will pass all the tests you designed, to ensure a robust, low-risk experience.

By the end of this course, you’ll be familiar with test-driven development, Red-Green Refactor methodology, and deploying quality applications using Django.

Build Robust Applications with Test-driven Development in Django


# GitHub Actions
You might be wondering what’s next. You have a working application with some automated tests on your local machine, and you might want to deploy the application for others to use.

GitHub is a platform where we can store our code on a remote server. This can help smoothen the process of code deployment and collaboration.

Before we deploy our code to production, we can run the test manually to make sure it passes and there are no bugs. However, we have a tool provided by GitHub called GitHub Actions that’s become available in recent years.

**GitHub Actions** is a continuous integration or continuous delivery tool and has numerous features. We only cover a few here. After we deploy our code to GitHub, we can instruct GitHub Actions to automatically spin up a Django server and run our tests for us.

# Prerequisites

For this lesson, we need a [GitHub account](https://github.com/join) as well as [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads) (a free and open-source distributed version control system) on our local system.


To know if Git is installed on your local system, enter the following command:

```bash
git --version
```

You should get the version of your Git installation.

# Practical example

Navigate to [https://github.com/Samuel-2626/django-tdd/tree/main](https://github.com/Samuel-2626/django-tdd/tree/main) and make a fork of this repository in your own GitHub account by clicking on the “Fork” button.
