While product managers may not build the actual product they produce something very tangible for a team: decisions

These decisions can be about anything: small ones like a line of copy in the docs, to big ones like what the MVP of a new feature should be

Typically, the most important decisions that a PM makes are, in order:

Why a team exists (vision and the impact they aspire to create)
What the general approach is to accomplish the vision (strategy)
What to build now, and what not to build (project prioritization)
What the smallest thing that can be built is that achieves the impact (MVP)

A great article that focuses on what it means for a PM to be a good decision maker

Developers build products faster than ever, and designers are expected to keep pace. While designers intrinsically understand the importance of user testing, most organizations do not

Designers have to jump through hoops for buy-in to receive an effective research budget, which can be difficult and tiring. Most of the time, designers make do with less-than-ideal data

But designers need a reliable testing framework that gives user input quickly, early, and often during the design process

In this article, you’ll discover:

2021-08-31 19:30:00 What's the anatomy of a perfect unit test?

Let's unpack this a bit. A suite of quality unit tests allows you to refactor code without breaking things and adding features without creating new bugs.

A good unit test is:
Simple - it's easy to read and understand
Isolated - it's independent of test cases
Fast - it only takes a few seconds to run it
Well-structured - each developer reading another developer's code should see what each unit test is doing
Reliable - a unit test must be failure-free no matter how many times you run it

It's worth noting that unit tests are written by developers who have a deep understanding of the inner workings of system functionality. So if the test fails, the reason might be the required changes or implementation problems Open / Comment
