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

That’s the end of the first chapter. Let’s have a short recap of what was covered and key takeaways.

1. We learned what TDD is. TDD can be very useful for large-scale applications because it forces us to write clean code, provides a good structure to it, and helps us consider project requirements before we start coding the application.
2. We also learned about the other great benefits of using the TDD approach to build our applications. The approach aids adequate collaboration and allows us to extend an existing software with ease.
3. In addition, we introduced the project for this course and the different types of tests.

Here’s a short recap of what we covered in the first chapter.
