• Related to: security-auditing, compliance-management

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Testing

Developers should learn and use testing to catch bugs early, reduce development costs, and improve code quality, especially in agile or continuous integration environments

Pros

• It is critical for applications where reliability is paramount, such as in finance, healthcare, or safety-critical systems, and for maintaining large codebases over time
• Related to: unit-testing, integration-testing

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use Auditing if: You want g and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Testing if: You prioritize it is critical for applications where reliability is paramount, such as in finance, healthcare, or safety-critical systems, and for maintaining large codebases over time over what Auditing offers.

The Bottom Line

Auditing wins

Developers should learn auditing to enhance security, ensure regulatory compliance (e
