The Ethos of Testing

Welcome to the 137th edition of Coding Jag , brought to you by LambdaTest!

As testing continues to evolve, its importance cannot be emphasized. A key component of software development is testing, and software testers play a crucial role in that.

The goal of testing isn't just to find bugs; it's also to uphold a set of ideals that guide the whole process. The ethos of testing includes principles such as quality, transparency, collaboration, and continuous improvement. These principles shape the way we approach testing, influence our decision-making processes, and ultimately impact the overall quality of software development.

In this issue of Coding Jag, we explore the critical role testing plays in software development.?
