Test First, Stress Less

If you’ve ever hesitated to update your MVP—or held your breath while deploying “just one little change”—you really need to consider Test Driven Development.

Test Driven Development (TDD) is a technique where developers write a test before they write the code. Then they write just enough code to make that test pass. Not more, not less.

This simple habit changes everything.

When done right:

  • Developers don’t write extra code that nobody asked for.
  • Every feature is proven to work the moment it’s built.
  • Updates don’t feel like rolling the dice.

You don’t need to understand the internals to appreciate the results. With TDD in place:

  • You get fewer bugs.
  • You can ship faster.
  • Your dev team stops playing whack-a-bug.
  • And most importantly—you sleep better.
