i stumbled upon an interesting issue while working w/ legacy systems that use JSP for their frontend - many teams are dealing with maintaining and extending these apps despite unit tests covering much of the java backend. its a classic case where you have solid coverage on one side but nothing to back up those dynamic, often untested jsp pages.
i wonder how others handle this balance! does anyone use any tools or strategies for testing JSP code effectively?
challenges with legacy systems'''testing the frontend can be tricky: when youve got a well-tested backend but an untamed front end, its like trying to tame wild horses.
im curious: do y'all have any go-to methods for ensuring these jsp pages are robust and reliable? maybe some scripts or tools that help catch issues b4 they become disasters?
any insights would be '''much appreciated!
