Ask HN: What is the most impressive test suite youve ever worked with
I've found the Metabase test suite[0] to be very good considering it's real-world software written by a for-profit company. Coverage is good, the correct tests usually break when doing a refactor (stuff like "Oh, I thought this change was harmless but actually it breaks the permissions model"), etcetera. But the most important thing is that there's a strong team culture of a) demanding good tests on each PR b) hunting down flaky tests and other sources of friction.
Another neat thing was that there used to be a full-time SDET who spent a lot of time writing Cypress reproductions for known bugs. When you picked up the bug, you could un-skip the test that was right there waiting for you.
All that said, of course it's far from perfect!
0: https://github.com/metabase/metabase/ Backend unit tests are in test/, Frontend unit tests are in frontend/test, end-to-end tests (Cypress) are in e2e.

Lessons Learned #1: One line of code can make your application vulnerable (Pre-Auth RCE in Metabase CVE-2023–38646)
Metabase is a popular open-source business intelligence tool. A vulnerability was discovered around July 2023 and assigned CVE-2023–38646 (you can find the full write-up here) which had a devastating impact of pre-auth RCE (Remote code execution) which means an unauthenticated user with network access to any instance of the web application could run code on the servers the application is running on. So Let’s discover what went wrong!
