The rise of AI coding assistants has transformed how we write software, but to truly maximize their potential, we need to adapt our development practices. Test-Driven Development (TDD) emerges as a particularly powerful methodology when combined with AI tools, creating a push-pull approach that enhances both code quality and development speed.
Note: This post assumes familiarity with TDD principles. If you’re new to TDD, consider starting with these resources:
The Perfect Partnership: AI and TDD
AI coding tools excel at generating code from clear specifications, while TDD provides exactly that - a precise specification in the form of tests. This natural alignment creates several advantages:
