Lightning Talk: Automated Testing Done Right
summary
Claims that catching defects in maintenance costs 100x more expensive than earlier fixes, and that a practical pipeline combines a unit/integration/end-to-end pyramid with targeted end-to-end tests only where needed. Recommends instrumenting Jira bug labels and showing execs the cost of regressions, building a small proof-of-concept class suite, and gating main branch commits via a CI provider. Reports that this approach reduces firefighting, improves engineer retention, and makes tests serve as usable documentation.
