CODING JAG - Issue 41

Welcome to the 41th edition of Coding Jag brought to you by LambdaTest!👐

The answer to the‘how much testing is enough'’ question lies in a combination of two factors: the QA functionality and how rigorously that QA Functionality is applied in testing.

Quality matters more than quantity!

Too much testing can make software development drag on for longer than necessary, while too little testing can accidentally ship features that don't work right, hard-to-use features, or security vulnerabilities. Generally speaking, the more an application can affect business or even human life, the more stringent the testing must be. As good as it sounds, not only does it waste time and money, but it also creates fear and a culture of obsessive compliance, which is hardly ideal in an innovative environment.

So, where do you draw the line? Let’s dive into the issue & find out!
