Adopting a Test driven Mindset in the Workplace
summary
Explains a practical path from vague requirements to automated checks using Gherkin for human-readable acceptance criteria, incremental refactors of legacy Swift code to introduce interfaces and mocks, and unit plus integration tests (example: mock login service with an asynchronous assertion). Shows a workflow that runs full suites on CI every commit and schedules long integration runs nightly, claims automated tests cut manual regression checks from ~30 minutes per screen to seconds, and recommends batch-writing failing tests then implementing the minimum code.
