=== Getting Started with TDD === To begin building maintainable Elixir applications with TDD, follow these steps: 1. '''Write a failing test''': Start by writing a test that describes the behavior you want to implement. This test should fail initially, as the corresponding code hasn't been written yet. 2. '''Write the minimum code to pass the test''': Implement the bare minimum code required to make the failing test pass. Avoid adding any additional functionality at this stage. 3. '''Refactor and repeat''': Once the test has passed, review your code and look for opportunities to improve its design and structure. Refactor your code while keeping the tests passing. 4. '''Write more tests''': Add additional tests to cover different scenarios and edge cases. These tests will further validate the behavior of your code and help guard against regressions. 5. '''Continuously test and refactor''': TDD is an iterative process. Continuously run your test suite and make necessary improvements to your code through refactoring.
