Q & A (Quality and Assurance)
Note: If you are having problems with Zap, please report the issue in GitHub or on slack with screenshots and/or how to reproduce the bug/error.
A good product not only has good software tests but also checks the quality of the UX/UI. Putting ourselves in the shoes of a user is a very important design principle of Zap.
