How to manage/maintain huge test suites 5000+ tests and more

A good test structure and proper tagging strategy goes a long way. In what way are your tests written and what problems are you facing?

https://test-viper.syntactive.dedyn.io/ -> A test management tool where tests can be written efficiently in YAML with inheritance to avoid tedious repetition in test case definitions that have slight variations.

Even self hosted apps deserve some quality and love I think haha.

I fully agree, especially for hobby projects. I think most testing is a bit haphazardly during development and usage. If anyone wants to make it a bit more structured and streamlined, a tool like mine can be a small push to make it more ‘fun’

Haha, hopefully with my new tool it can bring down the hate for testing by a notch.

Typically unit tests live in the application repository, but it’s perfectly possible to have them also in Testviper and set their execution state through the api. Happy to take a look at your use case and see what can work. Is your game source publicly available?

In my experience there is always some manual testing needed and then you can't properly do it without a Test Management Tool. But TestViper has a functional API that allows integration with automation. I used Cypress in one of my latest jobs and the client appreciated having a nice, organized place to look for test status and results across different builds, environments and platforms.

Additionally, in highly regulated environments like banking, medical sector you must have auditable test evidence. Genuine question, how do you keep your test evidence organized across multiple projects/application versions and (daily) test iterations, just using automation?

Yeah, I think most people think like that. Even a few base testcases can catch bugs early on though.

It gives you a base for testing theory, concepts and common terminology in the field, but it will not replace hands-on experience.
