TDD

TDD

1. Time Division Duplex. A means to allow communications in both directions on the same radio frequency, by allocating different time slots to the uplink and downlink transmissions.

2. Test Driven Development. Also known as Test First Development or Test First Programming. The development concept behind TDD is to first develop test harnesses (or unit tests) for what is required and then to develop software to pass those tests. TDD requires the tests to be written before the corresponding software.
