No Test Automation
Zero automated tests. The team has no idea where to start and the codebase was not designed for testability.
Testing
Anti-patterns in test strategy, test architecture, and quality practices that block continuous delivery.

These anti-patterns affect how teams build confidence that their code is safe to deploy. They create slow pipelines, flaky feedback, and manual gates that prevent the continuous flow of changes to production.
Manual Regression Testing Gates
Every release requires days or weeks of manual testing. Testers execute scripted test cases. Test effort scales linearly with application size.
Flaky Test Suites
Tests randomly pass or fail. Developers rerun the pipeline until it goes green. Nobody trusts the test suite to tell them anything useful.
Inverted Test Pyramid
Most tests are slow end-to-end or UI tests. Few unit tests. The test suite is slow, brittle, and expensive to maintain.
