CODING JAG - Issue 66

Welcome to the 66th edition of Coding Jag brought to you by LambdaTest!šŸ‘

Testing is a fascinating word that has a lot of different meanings. It also entails a varied range of activities. It is one of those words where people think they know what it means, but in reality, the understanding is usually vague or is restricted to one part of testing.

This issue of Coding Jag discusses why testing is a fascinating word and more.šŸ‘‡
