Refactoring and Improving Angular Code through TDD

Refactoring your Angular code using test-driven development (TDD) is a systematic and effective approach to improving the quality of your code. TDD involves writing tests before writing the actual code, thus ensuring that the code addresses the desired requirements and is robust, maintainable, and reliable. This methodology is particularly beneficial for Angular applications, where it ensures that the code is well structured, efficient, and easy to maintain.

In this section, we delve into the significance of adopting a “tests first” strategy, exploring the advantages of TDD during refactoring processes, selecting the optimal tests to create, understanding what constitutes code smells, emphasizing the importance of addressing code smells within Angular projects, and identifying prevalent code smells in Angular applications.

In summary, here are the main topics that will be covered in this chapter:
