Every startup says they’ll “add tests later.” Most never do. Then one big release breaks production, users get frustrated, and developers lose trust in deployments.
At TLVTech, we’ve learned that testing isn’t about adding complexity—it’s about buying confidence. The right tests let you ship faster, not slower.
1. They Test Too Much, Too Soon
Some teams try to test every line of code, but overtesting slows development and increases maintenance costs.
Fix: Focus on testing what matters—business-critical flows, integrations, and user experience.
2. They Separate Frontend and Backend Testing Too Strictly
Fullstack systems are connected—bugs often live at the boundaries.
Fix: Add integration and end-to-end (E2E) tests that mimic real user behavior across the stack.
3. They Don’t Automate Testing Early Enough
Manual testing feels faster—until it isn’t. Without automation, every release becomes a guessing game.
Fix: Automate early in CI/CD pipelines using tools like Jest, Cypress, and Playwright.
4. They Skip Testing Non-Functional Requirements
Performance, security, and reliability are rarely tested—but that’s where major incidents hide.
Fix: Include load testing, regression monitoring, and basic security scans in every cycle.
1. Unit Tests – Foundation
Validate logic at the smallest level—pure functions, components, and services.
Tools: Jest, Mocha, Vitest.
2. Integration Tests – Boundaries
Test how your backend APIs, databases, and frontends work together.
Tools: Supertest, Postman, or custom API scripts.
3. End-to-End (E2E) Tests – Real User Scenarios
Simulate actual workflows—signup, checkout, or dashboard interactions.
Tools: Cypress, Playwright.
4. Performance & Regression Tests – Reliability Over Time
Detect slow endpoints and degraded UX before users do.
Tools: k6, Lighthouse, or Datadog synthetic tests.
Testing isn’t about slowing teams down—it’s how you move faster with confidence. A good testing culture turns fear of deployment into a competitive edge.
At TLVTech, we help startups build fullstack testing pipelines that catch real problems early—so they can scale safely, deploy confidently, and sleep better.
- Android app development is accessible to learn, starting with Android Studio, a free software. - It requires a robust computer setup and understanding of Java and XML. - Creating a project involves choosing the right template and following prompts. - Essential tools for development include Android Software Development Kit (SDK), Android Development Tools, Dolphin IDE, a code editor, debugger, and emulator. - Building an Android app involves updating text and UI, background color alterations, and review of solution code. - Online resources, learning apps, and structured courses can enhance Android app development skills. Tutorials and courses can be found on the Android Studio and Developer Android websites.
- AI significantly impacts software development by identifying and learning from past code bugs, generating lines of code, suggesting coding practices, and correcting minor errors. - AI plays a crucial role in software design by crafting quick prototypes and refining designs based on past projects. - During testing, AI can identify bugs, facilitating a smoother developer experience. - AI also contributes to the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), particularly by analyzing user needs effectively and handling extensive data processing.
