Live test found in the wild
24 Oct 2025
I had solar panels installed this week (October 2025) and had to download an app. What was the very first thing I saw? A test for having multiple call to actions displayed. We can only guess if they don't have a test environment, or they used live and forgot to remove it after. Or even, live testing was happening while I was on the app? Who knows.
