Description

Hear, hear!

Come witness the tale of a lone Mesa developer who, after the 101st regression caused by external changes, vowed to slay the bisection dragon once and for all by guarding their driver kingdom with CI pre-merge testing!

Too little did they know the sirens of automated testing would take them on an unexpected journey in far-away lands they only ever heard tales of, and tested their skills in new and scary ways on their path to self-discovery.

Through their years of battle, they learned that the regression dragon is just one of the many monsters that are threatening its users, and became wise-enough to tame them and bring stability to the driver kingdom.

Come to hear how!
