Question 1/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
Why is the refactoring step important in the TDD cycle?

Available answers

Refactoring is crucial after tests pass to enhance code quality and maintainability without altering its external behavior.
Question 2/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
What should happen immediately after a developer writes a failing test in TDD?

Available answers

After writing a failing test in TDD, the next step is to write the simplest code that can make the test pass.
Question 3/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
How does TDD help in maintaining backward compatibility?

Available answers

TDD uses automated tests to ensure that existing functionality continues to work as new features are added, thus maintaining backward compatibility.
Question 4/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
What is the primary goal of test-driven development (TDD)?

Available answers

TDD primarily aims to reduce defects by writing tests prior to writing the actual code, ensuring that the code meets the specified requirements and works correctly.
Question 5/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
Which type of testing is NOT directly a focus of TDD?

Available answers

TDD primarily focuses on unit testing and regression testing through consistently running tests, but does not specifically address performance testing.
Question 6/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
What is an anti-pattern in the context of TDD?

Available answers

An anti-pattern in TDD is testing after the complete implementation is done, which contradicts the core practice of writing tests before code.
Question 7/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
Which statement best describes 'refactoring' in TDD?

Available answers

Refactoring involves making changes to improve the structure and readability of the code without altering its external behavior or outputs.
Question 8/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
Why is continuous integration beneficial when used alongside TDD?

Available answers

Continuous integration provides immediate feedback on test outcomes, ensuring that any new code changes do not break existing tests, which complements TDD practices.
Question 9/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
In TDD, what should be done if a test continues to fail after writing sufficient code?

Available answers

If a test continues to fail, the developer should review both the test itself and the code logic to find and fix the error.
Question 10/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
How does TDD help in achieving clean code?

Available answers

TDD encourages regular refactoring, which helps improve the code structure, remove redundancies, and enhance readability, contributing to clean code.
Question 11/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
When a test first fails in the TDD cycle, what does this indicate?

Available answers

A failing test indicates no code currently meets its needs, which is expected the first time through the TDD cycle. It serves as a clarification of what needs to be developed.
Question 12/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
What is the primary focus of tests in the TDD approach?

Available answers

The primary focus of tests in TDD is to verify that the code behaves as expected and meets the defined requirements.
Question 13/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
In the context of TDD, what is a 'unit' test?

Available answers

Unit tests in TDD are designed to test individual functions or methods in isolation to ensure each part of the application behaves as expected.
Question 14/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
What is one common benefit of applying TDD to software development?

Available answers

TDD often results in more modular and maintainable code because it forces developers to write smaller, testable units of code.
Question 15/15
😊 Your answer was correct 🙁 Your answer was incorrect
How does TDD contribute to regression testing?

Available answers

TDD contributes to regression testing by maintaining a comprehensive suite of tests that verify existing functionality still works as expected when new changes are introduced.
