Welcome to the 65th edition of Coding Jag brought to you by TestMu AI!👐
Testing in production has proven to be a critical aspect of the software development life cycle to ensure that there are no hidden bugs or issues in the latest build. With new features being added in every release, manual testing alone is insufficient, and many organizations might not have the time and resources to do it. Therefore, automated testing has proven very useful in production environments, enabling developers to test the new code as it is being deployed, thus saving developers time, money, and effort by eliminating the need for extensive manual testing.
However, going by the recent tweet by Elon Musk, the better question to ask is, does testing in production work with a public beta?
This issue of Coding Jag discusses why testing in production is great…to a point and the factors to consider while testing in production, especially testing in public beta, and more. 👇
