Need For Tests: Most Wanted

on YouTube ↗11m

" summary

Advocates moving testing from marketing to practice: decouple client-side code so it’s testable, write fast unit tests for small functions, use integration tests sparingly (avoid full Selenium for every feature), and add a test for a real production bug as proof of value. Follow the 3As pattern and the testing pyramid, expect short‑term time costs but measurable long‑term gains: fewer regressions, faster onboarding, clearer module boundaries and easier refactoring.
