Throughout the Flatiron curriculum we are pushed to work using Test Driven Developmet (TDD). Using RSpec test suites to check against the code we write ensuring we achieve the desired output. Learning to understand these tests has been a huge benefit to me personally. Once realizing work could be done literally side by side with the specs I saw a new breakthrough in production. Being able to see interpret the specs, and predict exactly how the code needs to be structured allows for proper planning. As opposed to constantly running tests as you make adjustments.
