Understanding the Problem: The Foundation of AI.TDD

Introduction

Before writing any code or tests, we must deeply understand the problem we're solving. This is especially critical in AI.TDD.

Problem Understanding in AI.TDD

AI can help us explore problems from multiple angles, but human judgment remains essential in defining what we're actually trying to solve.

Techniques for Problem Understanding

• 5 Whys: Dig deeper into root causes
• Problem Framing: Define the problem clearly
• Stakeholder Mapping: Identify all affected parties
• Impact Assessment: Understand consequences

AI as a Problem-Solving Partner

AI can help us explore different problem formulations and identify potential solutions, but we must guide it with clear problem statements.

Conclusion

Understanding the problem is the foundation of successful AI.TDD. AI enhances our problem-solving capabilities but doesn't replace human insight.
