Reality check: no team can achieve total bug prevention. But that doesn’t mean failure—it means balancing effort with impact. Instead of aiming for perfection, focus on identifying the most critical errors and creating test cases that catch the ones that truly matter. This approach helps teams save time, resources, and frustration while still maintaining high-quality releases. Perfection in bug prevention isn’t realistic, but smart prioritization is.

How do you handle a critical bug in production without causing more issues? @Titus Fortner suggests using feature-based test tagging to prioritize what matters most. Instead of running every test in your suite, focus only on the areas impacted by the fix to prevent regressions and speed up the process. This method helps teams roll out fixes faster, reduce risk, and avoid unnecessary delays by targeting the most relevant tests for each change.

Struggling to prioritize which tests to fix or discard? @Titus Fortner shares how analytics can help you sort through failures and make impactful decisions. Not all failing tests are created equal—some need fixing, while others are better off gone. Here’s how to use analytics for smarter test management: Learn how to streamline your test suite with the right analytical tools in this episode of Test Case Scenario.

Is your test suite running as efficiently as it could? @Titus Fortner explains why the number of tests isn't always the problem—it's the value they bring. Deleting tests that constantly fail and don’t provide useful data can significantly reduce your total execution time. Here's what to consider when refining your test suite: Ready to make your test suite more efficient? Watch this episode of Test Case Scenario to learn more.

What’s the secret to optimizing your test suite without sacrificing quality? In this episode of Test Case Scenario, Jason Baum and Evelyn Coleman are joined by Titus Fortner, Senior Developer Experience Engineer at Sauce Labs, to discuss strategies for improving CI pipelines, tackling test flakiness, and using analytics to streamline the testing process.
