CODING JAG - Issue 48

Welcome to the 48th edition of Coding Jag brought to you by LambdaTest!👐

We’re a testing culture. A culture of testers, developers, and QA who work together to deliver the best possible end product for our customers. Our goal is to deliver quality products that delight our users. To do this, we need to follow best practices and take an iterative approach to ensure superb usability throughout all stages of the development lifecycle. We also recognize that automation not only reduces cost but helps us increase productivity in ways that ultimately improve the quality of every product we produce.

Today, let’s talk about enjoying the rare win-win-win of “better, faster, cheaper” testing!
