Balancing Test Debt with Scalability and Maintenance

Test debt is a significant concern, especially in larger companies where there is pushback due to the fear of incurring debt and the need to come back later to clean it up. While it is important to have fully scalable and well-tested architecture, it is also crucial to address and tidy up any inefficient or ineffective elements in the system. Operationalizing and maintaining the codebase involves revisiting and weeding out elements that are not working well, striking a balance between test debt, scalability, and maintenance.
