An explanation of test-driven development often begins by describing the red-green-refactor cycle. This slogan is so catchy and the description so simple that practitioners and tool developers tend to focus only on this localized cycle. Experience has shown that a successful functional test-driven development strategy must span the entire application life cycle and must be supported by effective tools. This article is a call to improve the state of the art of functional test-driven development by reflecting on the state of the art, describing processes and phases in the full application life cycle, and painting a vision for the next generation of functional testing tools.This article is part of a special issue on test-driven development.
