+## In a time crunch? The risks to skipping tests
+In an ideal world, testing code would never be skipped, keeping the software reliable,
+and easily reproducible. However, in practice there are times when skipping tests may be necessary—
+perhaps due to tight deadlines, limited resources, or the need to quickly get a feature up
+and running. While this can save time in the moment, it’s important to be cautious, as
+skipping tests can lead to hidden problems that may become harder to fix later, particularly
+as the project grows. Whenever tests are set aside, it’s best to have a plan for going back to add
+them, to avoid risks to the stability and quality of the software.
