• visual regression testing?
• Re-usable tests?
• Benchmarks?
• What type of tests and amount of testing should the developer cover before handover to the Qa team for further e2e tests.?

Opinions of interest

1. Most of testing is subjective and boils down to the individual developer understanding why he is writing the tests.
2. Related to above point, testing is more about philosophy than tooling, need to understand why and how to write the tests
