These tests are designed to fail initially, and developers then write code to make them pass. The code is continuously refactored to ensure it is efficient and maintainable while passing all tests. This approach helps reduce the number of bugs and increase the reliability of the software.

Testing infrastructure is not as easy as that as it’s hard to check whether Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) will be successfully started without actually starting the instance.
