Ah, how does that gel with regression testing? We've tried something similar but got swamped by the need to test those code changes and the testers got upset being lumped with additional work while the rest of the team got to play with whatever they liked. Did you forgo testing for the sake of morale or did you come up with another solution?

Idk how far we go into regressions, afaik we don't really have an issue with it... We have a "everybody owns the product" mentality, and so pretty much everyone on the team should know how to use it and where issues might arise or have arisen.

So each code change needs to be kinda demonstrated that it works, whether it's through new tests, or screenshots, video, etc.

Usually if there's a specific bug that's been fixed, there is a test to catch if that bug occurs again. Most of the time it's been good enough.

You mean your company hasn't fired all their testers and made the devs do it themselves yet? I'm jealous.
