WHEN TO START WRITING TESTS (REDDIT POST)

An engineering team built a product that grew fast without writing any tests. However, the product is now starting to have flakiness and bugs from its lack of tests, so a Reddit user asked when the right time to start writing tests is. Commenters respond with advice, such as writing unit tests to make sure functionality doesn’t change over time. They advise selling the idea of taking time to write tests to management by using a perspective of risk.

WHEN A/B TESTING DOESN'T WORK

A/B tests are used to gauge the impact of simultaneous changes on different segments of a user base. While A/B tests can be highly beneficial for tech giants like Google or Meta, they often pose more challenges than advantages for other companies. Reasons for this include insufficient data, the tendency for incremental changes, the added workload of building and maintaining both features, and difficulty in determining what exactly to measure. Startups, in particular, benefit from being opinionated due to resource constraints and the inability to conduct extensive tests.
