The article discusses the rapid expansion of AI coding assistants, specifically large language models, and their integration into Test-Driven Development (TDD). TDD, a methodology established in the late 1990s, promotes writing tests before actual coding. This disciplined and iterative process includes steps like writing a failing test, developing minimal code to pass the test, running all tests, and refactoring. While the benefits of AI in TDD are significant, challenges remain regarding the level of project context available to the AI and the defined development process.
With the rise of large language models, integrating AI tools into coding practices like Test-Driven Development (TDD) can enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of software development.
TDD emphasizes iterative development, where developers start with tests, write minimal code to satisfy them, and continuously refine both code and tests in cycles.
