**What is TDD (Test-Driven Development)?**
Test-Driven Development (TDD) is a method of writing software where you write tests before writing the actual code. You go through a loop: write a test, run it (it fails), write just enough code to make the test pass, and then improve the code without breaking the tests.
**Why Use TDD?**
1. **Better Code Quality**: TDD encourages careful design and creates code that’s easier to maintain and update.
2. **Easier Refactoring**: Since tests come first, TDD makes it safe to change code, as tests will alert you if something breaks.
3. **Clear Documentation**: The tests act as a guide, showing what each part of the code should do.
4. **Fewer Bugs**: TDD helps catch errors early, reducing issues later.
5. **Fits Agile Development**: TDD supports Agile by making the code flexible and easy to adjust as requirements change.
**How to Implement TDD?**
1. **Write a Test**: Write a test for the feature you want. It will fail initially.
2. **Make it Pass**: Write just enough code to pass the test.
3. **Refactor**: Improve the code while keeping tests passing.
4. **Repeat**: Keep adding new tests, make them pass, and refactor.
TDD is more than a technique—it’s a shift in how you approach code, keeping testing and design in focus throughout development.
