Testing everything isn’t the answer. Testing the right things is. Risk-based testing helps you focus on what matters most. Check out the key takeaways below. Full blog in the comments. #softwaretesting #softwarequality #software #qualityengineering

??4 Code Coverage Pitfalls Every Engineering Team Falls Into ?? 1?? The Percentage Game Chasing that magical 80% coverage while ignoring test quality is like counting calories but eating only candy. Real example: Dave Farley shares how one company incentivized developers with bonuses for reaching 80% test coverage. They succeeded—but later found 25% of tests had no assertions at all. They paid people to write tests that tested nothing!1 Do this instead: Focus on test effectiveness with mutation testing. 2?? Cherry-Picking the Easy Parts Testing simple getters while avoiding complex logic? That's like studying only the easy chapters. Real example: Knight Capital lost $440 million in 45 minutes when they missed updating one server that still ran old code. Testing focused on the new system but failed to verify the old code was properly deactivated.2 Do this instead: Prioritize critical paths and high-risk components. 3?? The Unit Test Comfort Zone 100% unit test coverage can still miss critical integration bugs. Real example: The Ariane 5 rocket explosion ($370M loss) happened when a 64-bit value couldn't fit in a 16-bit integer. Tests passed in isolation but failed catastrophically under real flight conditions.3 Do this instead: Balance unit tests with integration and end-to-end tests. 4?? The "Untestable Code" Excuse "We can't test this code" usually means "We didn't design this to be testable." Real example: Google Nest thermostats failed when temperatures dropped due to a bug that "lay dormant for two weeks." Long-term battery performance and edge cases weren't properly tested.? Do this instead: Design with testability in mind from day one. Finding Balance At Testlio, we believe you shouldn't have to choose between speed, cost, quality, and coverage.

Excited to attend MRC Vegas 2025 in Las Vegas! ?? ? The payments space (driven both by consumer behavior and changes to the tech stack) is evolving at an unprecedented pace. Communities like MRC offer access to information and platforms for collaboration to help us keep pace. I'm looking forward to insightful discussions on payments testing, fraud prevention, and optimizing payment systems. A couple sessions I’m personally excited about: ?? Navigating Dilemmas in Payments - Roelant Prins (CCO, Adyen) ?? Benefits of Optimizing Payments Systems - Checkout.com, Sony Interactive, Glenbrook Partners ?? Unlocking Emerging Markets - GoDaddy, WHSmith, PPRO? If you're attending, let’s connect! ?? ??
