Testability, do you know this #concept by any chance? . . Imagine you're a tester at Amazon or any organization, responsible for ensuring the search functionality works flawlessly. Here's how testability applies: 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: In a scenario with high testability: Amazon's search feature is well-organized into separate modules, making it easy for testers to focus solely on testing the search functionality. Testers have access to clear #documentation and resources that explain how the search feature works and how to test it effectively. The search functionality is designed with clear #boundaries, allowing testers to isolate it from other parts of the website for testing purposes. Automated testing tools like Selenium are readily available, allowing testers to automate search tests efficiently. Testers can easily simulate different search scenarios, such as #searching by product name, category, or #brand, and verify the search results with confidence. Overall, high testability enables testers to thoroughly test the search #functionality, identify potential issues, and ensure a smooth shopping experience for Amazon customers. 𝐋𝐨𝐰 𝐓𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: Conversely, in a scenario with low testability: The search feature at Amazon is tightly #integrated with other website components, making it difficult for testers to isolate and test independently. Testers struggle to understand how the search functionality works and face challenges in designing effective test cases. Due to the lack of clear boundaries, testers encounter difficulties in automating search tests, leading to #manual testing efforts that are time-consuming and inefficient. Testers may overlook critical search-related issues due to incomplete test coverage and the inability to thoroughly validate the feature. As a result, low testability hampers the testing process, prolongs release cycles, and increases the risk of delivering a subpar search experience to #Amazon users. Testability in the context of Amazon's search functionality refers to how easily testers can test the feature. A high #level of #testability empowers testers to conduct thorough testing efficiently, while low testability creates obstacles and challenges in the testing process, ultimately impacting the quality of the search feature.

I would also include one more point. Lets say we want to check the Amazon review functionality. The pre-requisite is to place an order with all necessary details and then go the product page with that user login. The application must expose an API to place the order, support cookie injection/others to help users to reach the required state.
In simple terms, for testers we call testability as like feasibility to the developers. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
