Web Apps don't need no manual testing
summary
Web apps reduce manual QA by replacing repetitive clicks with automated end-to-end tests using Cypress and techniques like fixtures, mocking, custom commands and cy.request to programmatically log in and seed state. Setup takes about half an hour and saves ~10 seconds per login per test. Moving from a monthly code-freeze week to many small releases cuts bugs — examples show 12 dev/5 test days versus 14 dev/2 test days with eight releases — and high performers deploy 200× more deployments, have 3× lower failure rates and recover 24× faster.
