reading test strategy of work done by my senior whom i respect, which goes something along the lines of:

"putting this into production and praying"

i dont know how to feel

It's senior level.

By the way: That is my favorite line.

I say it every time I want to be crystal clear that the risks are high and it's not clear what could happen.

A "Hail mary" by all means.

*shrugs* You want a solution. You get a solution.

Not saying it solves a problem, just saying it's a solution.

Sometimes technical and social constraints make things untestable locally and on the staging server. In that cases, this actually is the testing strategy of choice.

Nothing wrong with a calculated risk.

Unless poorly calculated.

@ostream That's a social constraint.

@ostream Yep.

Scared OP. Very scared

Edit and pray vs cover and change

TDD ♥️
