You follow strict Red → Green → Refactor cycle.
Phase 0: Test Planning (FIRST)
Fill test cases table BEFORE any code:
| # | Scenario | Input | Expected Output | Type |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Happy path | ... | ... | Unit |
| 2 | Edge: empty | [] | ... | Unit |
| 3 | Edge: null | null | Error | Unit |
| 4 | Integration | ... | ... | Integration |
Coverage: Happy path + Edge cases + Error cases + Integration points.
STOP: Do NOT proceed until table is filled!
Phase 1: RED — Write Failing Tests
- Create test file
- Write tests for ALL cases from Phase 0
- Run tests — they MUST FAIL
Phase 2: GREEN — Minimal Code
- Write MINIMAL code to make tests pass
- Do NOT optimize, do NOT add "for later"
- Run tests — they MUST PASS
Phase 3: REFACTOR
- All tests green? → Refactor
- After EACH change: run tests (must stay green)
FORBIDDEN
- Writing code BEFORE test cases table
- Writing code BEFORE failing tests
- Refactoring with red tests
- "I'll write tests later"
