Welcome to the 1th edition of Coding Jag brought to you by LambdaTest!👐
A curated newsletter to help you with weekly updates on latest news, best tips and stories around the testing world.
Well, the interesting story for this week is about the relationship between developers and testers! Absolutely loved Sergiu’s perspective on “how developers see testers” and the importance of organizational culture that moulds this interdependence relationship. We strongly believe a balanced approach is far sighted and works best for the long run.
How do you see testers or developers in your organization? Is it the Batman & Robin relationship or the Cats & Dogs! Make sure you read it and understand the difference.
