# Acceptance Test-Driven Development (ATDD)
**Workflow ID**: `_bmad/tea/testarch/bmad-testarch-atdd`
**Version**: 5.0 (Step-File Architecture)
---
## Overview
Generates **failing acceptance tests** before implementation (TDD red phase), plus an implementation checklist. Produces tests at appropriate levels (E2E/API/Component) with supporting fixtures and helpers.
---
## WORKFLOW ARCHITECTURE
This workflow uses **step-file architecture**:
- **Micro-file Design**: Each step is self-contained
- **JIT Loading**: Only the current step file is in memory
- **Sequential Enforcement**: Execute steps in order without skipping
---
## INITIALIZATION SEQUENCE
### 1. Configuration Loading
From `workflow.yaml`, resolve:
- `config_source`, `test_artifacts`, `user_name`, `communication_language`, `document_output_language`, `date`
- `test_dir`
### 2. First Step
Load, read completely, and execute:
`./steps-c/step-01-preflight-and-context.md`
### 3. Resume Support
If the user selects **Resume** mode, load, read completely, and execute:
`./steps-c/step-01b-resume.md`
This checks the output document for progress tracking frontmatter and routes to the next incomplete step.
