9 Benefits of Test Driven Development
Test Driven Development is the practice of writing a test for a piece of required functionality, before writing any implementation code. This test should fail when first run, and then, you write the code to get it to pass. It doesn’t have to be the most perfect code, just so long as the test passes. Once it does, you can then safely refactor your code.

Continuous Delivery: Keeping Quality High
Practicing Continuous Delivery is worthless if it’s not to facilitate the delivery of high-quality code. In this article I am going to cover some techniques, tools and best practices we employ at Made Tech to keep our pipelines moving, and how you can compel developers to push quality code often by rewarding them for attention to detail, rather than punishing them for making mistakes.
Continuous Delivery: Building a Pipeline
A pipeline is a set of steps that your code takes to get from a developer’s local machine through to a production environment. This pipeline is managed by a tool that lets you define these steps, what they do, and how and when it proceeds onto the next one.
