Automation is widely used during web site testing, desktop testing, mobile application testing.

Automated tests are sensitive to various changes in the system and require lots of efforts for keeping them in a working order, but one can overcome some sensitivities by means of proper utilization of various test frameworks and tools.

There are numerous approaches and techniques of automated tests creation and applying. During test-driven development automated testing is deeply involved in the development process.

Test-Driven Development Helps the Programmers to Understand Clearly:

what the application must do;
how it must function.

It is one of popular and most efficient programing techniques of agile software development. According to this technique the software engineers create a function by function of the program.

They do not proceed to the next function before making sure that the function, at which they have just finished working, operates as intended. So, they are always verifying the system by means of the specially designed tests.

According to this approach the tests are written beforehand. They not only verify the application functioning, but measure the software construction progress as well. More and more tests pass along with adding more and more code to the system.

Specialists in functional testing, performance testing, security testing prove that applications created by means of test-driven development are of high quality.
