Metabase
The easy-to-use open source Business Intelligence and Embedded Analytics tool that lets everyone work with data :bar_chart:
Project mention: Ask HN: What is the most impressive test suite youve ever worked with | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-05-19I'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!
