TDD with JavaScript and Jest: A Hands-On Tutorial
The best way to learn TDD is to do it, not read about it. This tutorial walks through a complete TDD session in JavaScript using Jest.
Test-driven development guides — write tests first, ship fewer bugs, and design better software.

Testing
TDD is easy to practice on a greenfield project. You start from nothing, write the test, write the code, and the cycle works exactly as described in the textbooks. Legacy code is different. The code already exists. It was written without tests. It has dependencies that are hard to isolate,
Testing
Test-driven development has a reputation as a coding technique. Write a failing test. Write the code to make it pass. Refactor. Repeat.
Testing
The traditional software testing model was sequential: developers wrote code, then testers found bugs, then developers fixed them.
Testing Strategy
TDD has one real tradeoff: you pay upfront in speed to avoid paying later in debugging and fear of refactoring.
