Requirements Clarification for TDD

Purpose

Before writing tests (RED phase), ensure requirements are understood well enough to:

1. Know WHAT behavior to test
2. Identify edge cases and boundaries
3. Understand acceptance criteria
4. Avoid rework from misunderstood requirements

When to Use

Initiate clarification when:

• Feature description is less than 2 sentences
• No acceptance criteria provided
• Ambiguous terms like "should handle errors appropriately"
• Business logic without specific rules defined
• No example inputs/outputs given
