Test‐driven development, engagement in activity, and maintainability: An empirical study

The software engineering community aims to achieve and maintain high-efficient practical activities. One of the techniques used for this purpose is Test-Driven Development (TDD), which a cyclic test-centered development method positively related maintainability, may vary depending on context application. Previous research has indicated that TDD's benefits maintainability be due improved focus coding testing However, limited investigated role engagement in quality. Therefore, study investigates relationship between TDD methods, level activities, maintainability. primary questions addressed are does following methods improve activities? And higher leads better maintainability? employs statistical analysis technique, regression explore questions. results show behaviours level, engaging activities significant positive impact Additionally, finds focussing testing, such as writing more test cases, pronounced compared Our adds current literature not only personal expertise but process associated with quality calls emphasis developer's engagement.
