Did Alice Break Anything?
1
Alice runs a smoke test with random data
Alice updates a complex data pipeline. To smoke test it, she uses a small random sample. The test passes.
✅ Test Passed
2
System crashes in production
In production, the system crashes. The random sample missed critical edge cases.
💥 Production Crash
3
She tries using the full dataset
Next time, she uses the full dataset. It's more reliable, but testing and analyzing becomes slow and painful.
🐌 Slow & Painful
4
She uses ByteSizer
Then she discovers ByteSizer — smart, fast, and comprehensive subsetting in one tool. The test runs fast, it passes, and nothing gets missed in production.
✨ Smart Solution
The Moral of the Story
Avoid the issues Alice had before ByteSizer. Get the best of both worlds: fast testing with comprehensive coverage.
