Testing is great. Even just a simple #playwright test that checks you can log in and see the first screen of your app can save a lot of time when you break something without realising it.
I have an E2E smoke test that does a couple of login tests with different users and credentials and makes sure they all work at a minimal level. Takes about 8-10 seconds to run in #pytest with playwright (chromium only), and that's including the database setup and teardown. 100% worth it.
I’m particularly enjoying this at the moment as the project I’m working on is under a massive time crunch. Being able to churn out fixes and iterations without worrying too much that I’m going to break staging is a huge stress saving.
