atdd stands for Acceptance Test Driven Development. This software helps you check that your projects work as expected. It is inspired by Uncle Bob’s method called empire-2025. atdd guides you to write tests that describe how your software should behave before you build it.
This tool focuses on acceptance testing. That means it helps you confirm that your software meets your needs from a user’s point of view. Even if you are not a developer, atdd makes this easier by letting you use a clear language format. You don’t need to write code to check your software.
- Support for the Given-When-Then style to write tests simply.
- Works with Claude Code plugins to integrate AI into your project.
