Tales from the QA Crypt
summary
Anthology of QA mistakes turns into a concrete recipe: adopt TDD, move testing earlier with shift testing left, and use Cypress for end-to-end tests (demo runs ~11 specs in about 14 seconds, headless or with dashboard). Reproduce environments with Docker Compose and a multi-stage Dockerfile (dev/build/prod), map ports for local vs production, and run CI by linking an nginx container to a test container that returns exit code zero. Tests become executable requirements and reduce “works on my machine.”
