Testing at Scale: Strategies for Large Codebases
Testing at Scale: Strategies for Large Codebases Testing at scale is not just about more tests. It is about smart design that keeps feedback fast as codebases grow. In large projects, a long list of tests can slow developers and miss defects in critical areas. The goal is to protect quality without slowing progress. Think of a test pyramid: many fast unit tests, a solid layer of component tests, a moderate layer of integration tests, and a small set of end-to-end checks. This mix helps catch bugs close to the source and reduces flaky failures later. In practice, measure test duration and failure points, then tune the balance. ...
