Writing The Perfect Tests for your Application

A practical overview of three categories of tests every application should have: tests that guide development (TDD), tests that help debug regressions using git bisect, and synthetic/smoke tests running on production to catch live issues. The post explains how TDD's red-green-refactor cycle improves code design, how pairing an E2E test with git bisect automates bug-origin hunting, and why a simple production smoke test monitored via tools like Datadog or Sentry provides more peace of mind than complex CI/CD pipelines alone.
