I have already spent 100+ hours switching between Spotify and Apple Music, watching movies, and attending calls in various environments. I keep testing Skullcandy and Beats headphones, Earpods, and AirPods that I own to find my sweet spot in terms of passive and active noise-canceling, comfort, music signature, customization and personalization, battery life, lifestyle compatibility, and customer support service.

While consumers are testing and evaluating any product or software before they buy, businesses are testing development to fix issues before releasing software.

In the test-first approach, we develop test cases before writing the code and continually testing code against the test cases throughout the iterative software development process.
