GitHub for Beginners: Test-driven development (TDD) with GitHub Copilot

In the seventh episode of the "GitHub for Beginners" series, the focus is on using GitHub Copilot to streamline the testing process, an essential yet often tedious part of software development, especially as codebases grow in complexity. The episode explores the importance of different types of tests, such as unit, integration, and acceptance tests, and introduces the concept of test-driven development (TDD), where tests are written before the implementation code. GitHub Copilot aids in this process by automating the generation of unit tests and can even assist in the TDD methodology by creating tests and corresponding implementation code based on user prompts. The article underscores the significance of maintaining coding standards in test writing, such as documentation and organization, and highlights the benefits of using GitHub Copilot to enhance efficiency and code quality. Additionally, it encourages developers to utilize the free version of GitHub Copilot to improve their testing workflows, providing a more enjoyable coding experience.
