At my job:

We do have a linter and tons of automatic tests. Changes are generally quite safe, not a lot of manual tests are necessary.

Meanwhile, a trivial change requires a whole day because the developer has to adjust dozens of tests and get them through a pipeline that takes hours to run.

    Oof. I've had places that the pipeline was getting long. At one of my previous jobs I made it so all the tests could run locally, and we were keeping the full build as slow as possible.

    We also didn't do any browser tests (eg: selenium) because those tend to be slow and most people are bad at making them stable.

    It's important to know whats worth testing.
