Hi Johanna,
I’m interested if the story you tell in the article is a true one (with names changed), or if its “made up” but based on experience.
In particular is the “25 hours verses 5 hours” real or hypothetical data?
Cheers
Mat
Mat, yes, the data happens to be real. The names are changed.
It really was a 5 hour dev investment to prevent 25 (to 30) hours of post dev finding and fixing.
