Developers are constantly switching between planning, coding, testing, fixing bugs, and reviewing pull requests. That\u2019s a lot to manage, especially when these tasks are scattered across different tools.<\/p>\n\n\n<div style=\"background-color: #d9edf7; color: #31708f; border-left-color: #31708f; \" class=\"ub-styled-box ub-notification-box wp-block-ub-styled-box\" id=\"ub-styled-box-96c63f1e-9900-4af3-9266-6c183b78c2bc\">\n<p id=\"ub-styled-box-notification-content-\">Nearly <a href=\"https:\/\/devops.com\/survey-fixing-bugs-stealing-time-from-development\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">9 in 10 developers<\/a> say that undetected software errors seriously impact the business.
