Only viewed in isolation - the point of red-green is test calibration: be certain that your new experiment is actually measuring the thing that you think it is measuring.
Red-green isn't the only way to achieve this, of course, but it is a smooth way to achieve this.
- tester756 3y agoThe only scenario I can think of is some crazy programming language / unstable compiler where such a thing would be needed when writing new code. Do you have any example where going red-green found issues when writing new code?
