CODING JAG - Issue 25

Welcome to the 25th edition of Coding Jag brought to you by TestMu AI!👐

Mike Cohn proposed the 'Test Automation Pyramid' in his book 'Succeeding With Agile' and described how teams were automating at the wrong levels. He introduced us to a practical test automation strategy by dividing it into three different levels- UI, Service & Unit.

Have we somehow got over that 'forgotten layer' of the Test Automation Pyramid? Or is the pyramid evolving as front-end development becomes more complex?

Let's dig into those questions and more in this edition.
