Red, green, and don't forget refactor

Read Original

This article discusses the 'red, green, refactor' mantra of Test-Driven Development (TDD), emphasizing the often-skipped refactor step. It argues that refactoring is crucial for code quality, allows for confident changes, and helps maintain a steady development pace. The piece includes insights from Kent Beck and explains how separating 'making it work' from 'making it right' leads to cleaner, more maintainable software.
