Working at a company with no automated tests. There's not even a collection of regression tests or anything to follow. I was wondering if anyone could share or point me towards a good template to start building out test cases as a first step?
if there are zero automated tests, things probably weren't written with (automated) testing in mind, so there may be a lot of coupling... starting off with integration tests just to validate existing behavior is a good start. hopefully the existing applications aren't also inextricably bound to environments that are run on pet servers and managed by other teams...
Thankfully, the team has full control without external team dependencies
