Did you know that over 70% of machine learning failures in production stem from fragile, untested code rather than faulty models? Test-driven development is the key to writing ML pipelines that are reliable, reusable, and production-ready.

What you'll learn
Test-driven development creates a safety net that enables confident refactoring and continuous improvement of ML codebases for reliable systems.
Modular design principles applied to ML components (data loaders, training loops) dramatically improve code reusability and team collaboration.
Production-quality ML code requires the same software engineering rigor as traditional development, including comprehensive testing and CI/CD.
Investing in code quality upfront prevents technical debt that can derail ML projects during scaling and deployment phases of development.
