Testing is often seen as the safety net of SAP projects. It’s not. Testing validates what was built — it doesn’t fix flawed design decisions.

Strong programs focus on decision quality early, not defect detection late.

I should be able to use the language multidimensionally. Like web development, ai/ml, offers jobs in MAANGM companies .
