The Quality Oath ??

We solemnly swear to:

1. Test thoroughly
2. Automate wisely
3. Document clearly
4. Deploy carefully
5. Learn continuously

Warning: Side effects may include improved code quality, fewer production issues, and occasional bursts of testing inspiration.

The Testing Titans Commandments ??

1. Thou shalt not test in production (unless absolutely necessary)
2. Thou shalt write meaningful test reports
3. Thou shalt not ignore failing tests
4. Thou shalt backup before deployment
5. Thou shalt celebrate successful releases

In memory of all the bugs that died during testing. They died so our users didn't have to find them.
