1. Identify the component or functionality to be tested.
2. Write a failing test case (RED phase).
3. Implement the minimum code required to pass the test (GREEN phase).
4. Refactor the code while ensuring the test still passes (REFACTOR phase).
5. Configure CMake/CTest to discover and run the tests.
6. Analyze test results and address any failures.
7. Add coverage and sanitizers to improve code quality.
