I feel like having automated testing though is objectively beneficial. I imagine SO make up for that by having a QA team and spend a heap of time manually testing stuff at the expense of “performance”.
- meheleventyone 5y agoI agree, automated tests of all kinds do have empirical basis every time I’ve seen them used. You can literally see their value by measuring their output. There’s a lot more to the “best practices” around automated testing than just doing it though. And therein lies the rub.
- nhinck2 5y agoThere is a world of difference between objectively having benefits and being strictly beneficial.
