When working with teams who are starting with automated tests and test-driven development, a common issue is being stuck on a failing test and trying to do too much at once while getting it to pass.
Instead, work in small bite-sized iterations and focus on getting the test to pass as quickly as possible.
You don't want to be stuck in a failing state for longer than you need to.
Run the tests often, write the simplest code possible and don't write any code that isn't driven by a failing test.
Don't make too many changes at once so, if you do get stuck, you can reset to the last working test and start again.
