Costa Giannakopoulos introduced the term and concept of subcutaneous testing, an approach that sits just beneath the UI layer to test application logic directly.
He shared examples using PactumJS to show how this approach can reduce flaky UI tests while still covering key scenarios. A deep, technical talk that gave many a new term for a familiar strategy.
