Testing Strategies for Giant Applications
summary
Describes practical testing strategies for a large legacy Drupal application with an inexperienced team lacking TDD and automated tests, unstable APIs, lots of conditional logic, and optional typing. Covers which tests to prioritize (unit, component, or end-to-end), use of documentation, and concrete approaches to introduce agile/testing culture within a small three-person team while managing client communication to meet project goals.
