@glennsarti Why do I test?

@glennsarti To reduce the risk that a user will experience
an unexpected behaviour

@glennsarti Benefits of testing Shorter delivery cycles Produce high quality
code Cheaper

@glennsarti To ensure what is created does what it’s supposed
to do Form of documentation Benefits of testing
