CODING JAG - Issue 49

Welcome to the 49th edition of Coding Jag brought to you by LambdaTest!👐

End-to-end tests are the most effective way to ensure your application works as it should. Why? Because they check those critical workflows like sign-ups aren't broken. They can feel difficult to create and integrate into your process. In this issue, we see how companies struggle with setting them up and what end-to-end testing pitfalls are avoidable.

We rely on end-to-end tests to make sure our apps ship with confidence. How about testing those mobile apps on the profusion of devices that your users own? We’re happy to share that LambdaTest is now live with Mobile App Testing to help you out here. Do check it out!
