Reality check: no team can achieve total bug prevention. But that doesn’t mean failure—it means balancing effort with impact. Instead of aiming for perfection, focus on identifying the most critical errors and creating test cases that catch the ones that truly matter. This approach helps teams save time, resources, and frustration while still maintaining high-quality releases. Perfection in bug prevention isn’t realistic, but smart prioritization is.
