Backend Test-Driven Development

About

Implement a rigorous Test-Driven Development (TDD) workflow for building high-quality, maintainable NestJS backends. This skill enforces a 'tests-first' approach, guiding you through the Red-Green-Refactor cycle to ensure that design decisions are driven by testability and requirements. It promotes Clean Architecture principles, such as Dependency Inversion and layer segregation, resulting in decoupled, robust, and easily refactorable code. Use this skill when building critical services, refactoring complex systems, or when projects demand high test coverage and verifiable quality gates from the start.

Key Features

• Enforces a strict Red-Green-Refactor TDD cycle
• Complements Clean Architecture and Domain-Driven Design (DDD) patterns
• Guides the use of Dependency Inversion and interface-based design for testability
• Promotes a 'Tests First' approach where tests are written before implementation
• 0 GitHub stars
• Integrates quality metrics like test coverage into the development loop

Use Cases

• Building a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) with mandatory quality gates and high test coverage
• Refactoring critical backend services to improve stability and maintainability
• Developing new features where strict quality requirements demand a tests-first approach
