The objective of this work was to use Test-Driven Development (TDD) ─ a technique employed to make the source code more intelligible and easier to maintain. The maintenance is done with the aim of altering the software structure thus guaranteeing its integrity. Nevertheless, this task may become more complex should the source code and the software internal architecture turn out being difficult to understand. As TDD suggests a step by step development style and with the behavior tests being written before each functionality, it leads the developer to build a simpler and more functional code. Such development technique is employed here on the software designing which will confer a higher maintainability level. Sofware metrics was applied over the developed code through TDD and its data were compared with those metrics data of previously existing software which hadn’t employed TDD on its designing. The results of this comparison are presented and show the improvements in relation to the expected complexity when using TDD to help build software.
