Then you can commit the fix to the code, with the change to remove the fail expectation. The Kluever Maneuver seems odd to me: write the test confirming the wrong behavior. I'd rather…
A couple, yeah. TDD would have you write a test asserting the *correct* behavior that initially fails, while this methodology has you write a test asserting the *incorrect* that initially passes, but must be fixed. Also, more broadly, TDD is a practice that asserts that any code change, from new features to bug…
