Test driven design refers to a design process that performs tests and rapid prototypes on an early and ongoing basis - prior to an actual build. This can be done in various ways:
- Subject Matter Expert review
- Partial Prototypes - Building out small components at a time instead of a whole machine at a time.
- Module Based Design - Breaking artifict into smaller modules and prototyping individual modules
- Scale models - this may be done by wood, paper, or other models - such as 3D printing, laser cutting for folded (LifeTrac tubing) or stacked (architecture) paper pieces, or many other models
- Doing extra calculations or simulations in software or in Hardware-in-Loop systems
- Visualizations, 3D renderings, motion analysis
