Automated TDD with Claude Code: Testing Strategy for AI-Assisted Engineering
Every project I hand to Claude Code starts the same way: I write the testing strategy before the first line of application code exists. Not because I am a TDD purist (I have skipped tests on personal projects like anyone else), but because I learned the hard way that an AI agent without test constraints will produce code that works today and breaks tomorrow. The agent is fast, confident, and has zero memory of what it built yesterday. Tests are the only thing that survives between sessions and keeps the codebase honest.
