Come and hear me and @bdemers rant about testing next week!
Join Java Champions Brian Demers and Trisha Gee as they cover top challenges developers face when testing software, like dealing with long test cycles, slow and frustrating troubleshooting, a "forever war" with flaky tests, and the upcoming impact of AI-generated tests on projects.
Cory House presents 'Effective Automated Testing - Lessons from 10 Years' July 24th at Nebraska.Code().

If you use feature flags your automated tests are worthless unless you run them against every possible combination of feature flags.

ideally, there is a Test Engineer or QA team that can either write the functional tests, or confirm that those being referred to are legitimate and sufficient.
It's just important that when something is a barrier between your feature code and shipping there should be someone responsible for helping the team keep it green.

Another day, another bug caught by automated tests.
I missed injecting an OpenAI API key per tenant to OpenAIEmbeddings().
When tests ran locally they would pass because I have the OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable set on my machine.
Tests in CI failed red because that environment is clean.
