There are basically three ways to verify the outcome of a test:
- Verify the state of the Subject Under Test.
- Verify the return value of a method or function.
- Verify a value passed to a collaborator of the Subject Under Test.
That's it! Those are the […]

Alternatively, with Test-Driven Development (TDD), software developers start by writing a small test then write just enough code to make it pass, and iterate — building quality into software from the get-go instead of after the fact. This approach aligns […]

After we’ve completed the Red-Green-Refactor cycle, when the design part is over, the test descends
into regression mode. At this point, it’s less about “designing” and more about “testing”
