Hey everyone,

I’ve been noticing this pattern a lot lately, small apps or platforms work fine initially, but once updates start rolling out, things begin to break.

Buttons stop responding, features lag, or sometimes entire sections don’t load properly. What’s strange is that these issues usually don’t appear during initial testing but show up after deployment.

Since platforms like Lifepart are growing and adding more features (feeds, messaging, media uploads, etc.), maintaining stability becomes even more important. Even minor bugs can affect user experience a lot when people are actively engaging daily.

I think the main issue is not just development, but lack of proper testing cycles before updates go live. A lot of teams focus on building features quickly but don’t stress enough on regression testing or real-world scenarios.

I came across some structured approaches like Leading QA and testing agency in Lahore, where testing isn’t just about finding bugs, it’s about making sure updates don’t break existing functionality. Honestly, that mindset feels necessary now more than ever.

What do you guys think?

Do most startups skip proper QA due to time/budget?
Is automated testing enough, or do we still need heavy manual testing?
Have you experienced apps getting worse after updates instead of better?

Curious to hear your experiences, especially from devs or testers here
