In our team we don't do the frontend testing as the requirements are very volatile and the deadlines just don't allow us more time for anything more than the dev part and some manual testing (later automated) done by the QA.
But I would highly suggest you to start with testing across if your requirements have stabilised and the deadlines can accommodate those extra time required for testing. -
@jfgilmore what @techcatchers said
I think about it as a tech loan. Kinda like the initial technological investment for the software. We're not gonna be making technological profit until the 5th year cause we're gonna be so buried in debt until then 😂
when your code is a mess but everything work out in the end
When you keep getting +1s on a rant you posted a month ago.
continuation of "testing is not needed" series

a second former colleague (which works as backend dev) was seeking frontender, and remembered about the React frontender we both worked with.
I decided to warn him:
> *Giggles* According to his words, front is not like back. Git and testing aren't required there.
I received next replies:
> actually I don't need tests as well
> I did not write them all this time
> I have testers in a team for that, which do the testing for me
> I think I'll need it in cv though.
My comments:
I am trying to imagine their code... architecture, and I am a bit scarried to see how it looks like, are you?
