Content mrsteinberg.com JANUARY 1, 2020 SOFTWARE TESTS ARE FOR MILLIONAIRES Until you are making a million a year in revenue, it is a waste of time to write tests. Your startup is going to change so much. Everything is so uncertain and failing. It makes no sense to do anything that does not directly impact revenue until you are making good money.
