What’s still broken about testing workflows in 2025?

I’ve been talking to a lot of devs recently about how they approach testing in fast moving teams. The same pain points keep coming up.

• Writing tests takes forever.

• Maintaining them is even worse.

• CI passes, but bugs still make it to production.

• Visual bugs? Test suites usually miss them.

• Things break silently and no one notices until it’s too late.

We spend hours building safety nets that feel more fragile than helpful.

And most of the time, it's not your test suite that spots a bug. It's your PM. Or a user.

So I wanted to ask the community here:

• What frustrates you most about testing right now?

• Is it writing and updating tests?

• Flaky runs that block deploys?

• Coverage gaps in real user flows?

• Or just getting anyone to care enough to write tests?
  

Would love to hear how others are dealing with this.

Appreciate any real-world insights you can share.
