Client-side A/B testing has been a performance loving developer’s worst friend for years. The way it works is you load in some JavaScript (typically from a third-party domain), and that JavaScript runs, applying the experiments you’re running for any given situation. Since those experiments usually involve changing the display of the page in some way, these scripts are typically either loaded as blocking JavaScript (meaning nothing happens until the JavaScript arrives and gets execut

Why Software Testing Is Important. An average mobile app contains about 50,000 lines of code, Microsoft Windows operating system has about 50 million lines of code, while Google’s entire code base is estimated to contain 2 billion lines of code. If you take an average of 15–50 defects per KLOC (Kilo Lines of Code), that adds up to a lot of work for software testers before a product is released into the market.
