TCR (Test && Commit || Revert)

Test && commit || revert (TCR) is a programming workflow derived from test-driven development that promotes very small, continuous steps through a simple rule: After each change, if the tests pass, the changes are committed; if they fail, the changes are reverted. Implementing TCR is straightforward: You only need to define a script that automates this cycle within your codebase. Originally introduced in a canonical article by Kent Beck, we've found that TCR reinforces positive coding practices such as YAGNI and KISS. It's worth evaluating as we experiment with new workflows for building software using GenAI.
