๐Ÿ’ก Quick Tips & Tricks

  • Data-Driven Testing: Leverage data-driven techniques to dynamically alter input values in your tests, enhancing test coverage and efficiency.
  • Code Reusability: Design your tests with reusability in mind to save time and reduce errors. Modularize code into functions or classes that can be easily reused across different tests.
  • Automated Visual Testing: Integrate automated visual testing tools to detect UI discrepancies that might not be caught by traditional tests, ensuring your appโ€™s UI looks good across all user scenarios.
  • Continuous Feedback: Implement continuous feedback mechanisms within your testing pipeline to quickly adapt and respond to issues as they arise during test cycles.
  • Leverage Cloud-Based Platforms: Use cloud-based platforms for testing to easily scale up or down based on demand, manage a variety of testing environments, and reduce the overhead of maintaining physical infrastructure.
