Our Testing Strategy: How We Ship Confidently at Scale

Shipping fast without breaking things requires a testing strategy that catches bugs early, runs quickly, and gives engineers confidence to merge.

Our Testing Pyramid

  • Unit tests — Fast, isolated, cover business logic and utilities
  • Integration tests — Verify module interactions and database operations
  • Contract tests — Ensure API compatibility between services
  • Visual regression — Screenshot comparison for UI changes
  • End-to-end — Critical user journeys tested against staging
  • Chaos engineering — Randomly inject failures to test resilience

The Numbers

We maintain over 12,000 tests across the platform. The full suite runs in under 8 minutes. Every PR gets a coverage report with per-file diff coverage. We target 85 percent coverage for new code and 70 percent overall.
