Is testing tools a bad idea?

Question

Software testing

I don’t know, maybe I haven’t grown up to such a level as to involve testers in my projects, but for me this profession, so far, is not only boring and boring, but also crazy. I decided to dig deeper into the Appium, Selenium testing tools and, you know, I have never studied more ambiguous and crazy things in my life, and in terms of wasting time, this competes with the amount of time for the development itself. Maybe someday I'll change my mind, but for now, that's the way it is. Your opinion?

Answer 1

Testing is hard, painful and time consuming.
The problem is that you have no other way to guarantee the correct operation of the application.
Though if you have ideas - share, with pleasure I will listen.
As for the rest: it's like with any new tools and technologies, while you are learning - spend a lot of time and generate a lot of WTF / min, when you realize and collect all the rake - go to the "plateau" of performance and start generating useful results.
