Have we been stuck in the same testing pain loops for years? Even though it might seem like it, we haven't!

Even if AI is now writing our tests, many JavaScript developers have faced numerous challenges, from the unclarity of test classifications to the struggle of mocking, long-running integration tests, and shifting everything to E2E tests.
