A multitude of possibilities are created when working with others, we truly cannot solve all manmade or nature’s problems alone. No one is truly successful without a little help.

As mentioned in Become a Successful Software Developer, there are some simple ways to solve problems. Though the effort we put in actually solving the problem is what truly matters. Bottom-line, we cannot do this alone.

Despite human error being a factor, TDD (Test Driven Development) can minimize the research needed for new features, giving the developer confidence in trying something new or unexpected. Read this short article,  “Is TDD dead?” for a better description of TDD; could explain some apprehension for working more autonomously or independently. I mention TDD because it is a helpful methodology in software development that allows for creating features without the needed feedback from other developers.

You will find there are also numerous testing frameworks to create these tests, such as NUnit, Specflow and if your Visual Studio user, the IDE comes with the libraries you need to create an assertion, test it, and develop.

Lastly, the commonly heard mantra for TDD, is red, green, and refactor. This is simply the procedural steps taken in TDD. This mantra means to create something broken, write the code to fix it, test it, and then refactor(restructure the code to change the factoring while not changing the external behavior). In C#, a test is just a class, and can use attributes to help localize the tests. Within a project, created methods in C# are tested. With that basis in mind, we can do standalone speculation on how to development an application without the needed teamwork. The reverse of this is that with a team you can brainstorm these tests as a group by conversing with the product owner or other developers for example.
