Where’s this “throw it over the wall” stuff coming from? I write tests, if I push and my pipeline fails, I have to fix it. I’m rostered on call, if my app breaks, I have to get up in the middle of the night.
For a simple web app (which is probably what most engineers on HN work on), unit testing is most of the testing you probably need to do (unless you think that a unit test that involves a DB interaction becomes an integration test). Front end code needs a little bit more than that, but automating front end tests is not particularly reliable to begin with, so you could really debate how much of that should be done by hand anyway. Some people swear by BDD frameworks, but that’s how you end up with a 4 hour test pipeline, without getting all that much additional confidence in your work.
