Welcome to the 133rd edition of Coding Jag brought to you by LambdaTest!đ
Bad testing practices can lead to significant consequences, both for individual testers and the software development industry as a whole. For instance, bugs that slip through and make it to production can cause delays, cost overruns, and even damage reputations of companies. It may also be challenging for testers to advance in their careers and develop professionally if they consistently produce low-quality work.
We've all experienced bad testing practices in one way or another; however, these experiences often end up teaching us valuable lessons on what not to do in the future.
In this edition of Coding Jag, we examine bad testing experiences to learn how not to repeat them in the future.
