Which testing phase takes the longest in your process?

I opted for Debugging cause definitely takes the longest in our process.

Test execution is usually fast thanks to automation, but when something fails, especially due to flaky tests or minor UI changes, debugging becomes a time sink.

You end up checking logs, re-running tests, verifying environments, and sometimes pulling in developers to isolate the issue.

It’s not just about fixing the test, but understanding why it failed in the first place. That’s what really slows things down.
