   Testing on Toy Data

   “But almost every one of those changes is still tested the way it was 20 years ago. On a copy that is small, clean, and empty.”

   On screen

   $ npm test && npm run build 916 passing, 0 failing. Build succeeded. Every test ran against a fixture database. $ psql test_db -c 'select count(*) from each table' TABLE ROWS orders 12 customers 8 payments 5

   Real-World Disasters

   “On the nineteenth of July 2024, one update grounded 5,000 flights. In July 2022, one configuration change cut off 12 million Canadians. They could not call 911. None of them were attacks.”

   Testing vs Production

   “Because testing is not production. Production is enormous, tangled, and full of real people.”

   On screen

   $ psql production -c 'select count(*) from each table' orders 48,201,338 customers 9,412,006 payments 71,884,220 and 412 more tables Because testing is not production. Production is enormous, tangled, and full of real people.

   On screen

   Pre-Merge Isolation

   “Your change runs there first, whether a person wrote it or an agent did. On every pull request, before it merges. If it breaks, it breaks there. Then the copy deletes itself, nothing left behind.”

   On screen
