I have been working heavily on FE for the past 2 years and our product has grown/changed a lot without any sort of test cases. Now it's a bit difficult for us to estimate the impact areas without going through several files and deep into code sometimes.
With fast changing requirements/updates to the existing logic, I guess we will start spending more time on fixing breaking cases but eventually it would lead to a better setup and flow.
Wanted to know, how your experience has been in such cases and whether your firm/teams do write test cases.
We have been told to be T-shaped developers and to write automation ourselves.
When I worked in smaller projects, tests were practically non-existent. It really depends upon the project to project basis. Anyone trying to build a quick mvp might not need testing as a priority as opposed to having rapid prototyping and quick releases. But once a project reaches a stage where SLA agreements are involved or you are actually working in a product, then investing some time to refactor the code and implementing/maintaining unit tests becomes quite invaluable and really does pay off later on.
Ah alright, definitely sla and other stuff creates pressure from sales/product/legal and other departments. Instability would cause a lot of damage.
My pull request won't get merged if I haven't added unit tests. And a jira ticket for the integration tests/automation is created along with the task. Usually have to do them one after the other. Anyways in my org, it's the developer's responsibility to write automation atleast for the functional aspects. SDETs take care of automation test cases from load testing and reliability pov
Got it, thanks for sharing.
I have worked on 3 projects the past 1-1.5 yr and since all of them were in the initial stages, with rapidly updating designs, flows we didn't focus on making any testcases. How is it done at your place of work? Do you create testcases a...
Guys very curious, have you guys faced any challenges like once product writes off the deployment, founders coming after you for the bugs that comes in prod, because the testing is not done well.

Hey all, hope you are doing well. I have one question regarding test process.
In my current organization, while we are testing any new project, we are getting around 200+, 300+0 bugs including UI / Ux and backend. Continuously retestin...
