Development-driven testing (DDT) as the software
developers call it, has become an obsolete approach in this agile
world. DDT implies that you code first and then test it. However,
many companies nowadays are shifting this trend of performing these
tasks simultaneously – Test Driven Development (TDD) due to its
considerable advantages.
TDD is a software development process based on a
very short development lifecycle. Implementation of this approach
urges the testers & developers to go more deeper into
requirements and how the framework should work overall. SynapseIndia,
a software development company in India utilizes this approach
at its best to deliver remarkable satisfaction to all its clients.
The advantages of simultaneous Testing and Coding in
software development are:
More extensive
and comprehensive test coverage
As the development in TDD approach is done parallel
to all the steps, there is more certainty that each element of the
code is tested and modified as per the requirements. There is only a
need to run the already written codes without any changes in the
database management or the development process to include a new
requirement.
Minimum of bugs: Quantity of bugs is reduced to least as they are
rectified as soon as detected at each phase simultaneously. Hence the
quality is improved many folds.
Reduced time and
costs: Lesser the issues faced, lesser the time & cost
required to fix them. Also, the development feedback time is
minimized.
Increased confidence: Since software engineers are pretty confident of the
quality of the product/ software, they are more certain to include
new features and give better output.
Better API interface: Software
developers can have a better look at the API from the point of view
of the client as the cases go first in the
TDD approach.
