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.

How do you handle a critical bug in production without causing more issues? @Titus Fortner suggests using feature-based test tagging to prioritize what matters most. Instead of running every test in your suite, focus only on the areas impacted by the fix to prevent regressions and speed up the process. This method helps teams roll out fixes faster, reduce risk, and avoid unnecessary delays by targeting the most relevant tests for each change.
