'''Test-driven development''' ('''TDD''') is a way of writing [[source code|code]] that involves writing an [[test automation|automated]] [[unit testing|unit-level]] [[test case]] that fails, then writing just enough code to make the test pass, then [[refactoring]] both the test code and the production code, then repeating with another new test case.
Alternative approaches to writing automated tests is to write all of the production code before starting on the test code or to write all of the test code before starting on the production code. With TDD, both are written together, therefore shortening debugging time necessities.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal |last1=Parsa |first1=Saeed |last2=Zakeri-Nasrabadi |first2=Morteza |last3=Turhan |first3=Burak |date=2025-01-01 |title=Testability-driven development: An improvement to the TDD efficiency |url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0920548924000461 |journal=Computer Standards & Interfaces |volume=91 |pages=103877 |doi=10.1016/j.csi.2024.103877 |issn=0920-5489}}</ref>
