Challenge

There are two types of user categories in this app. The first category is for hosts who organize dinners at their homes. These dinners may
include multiple events scheduled at different times to provide an exceptional dining experience. Another category is for guests who can book
seats at these dinners and other events.
Hosts can organize as many events as they want and also maintain a guest profile. Meanwhile, guests have the option to become hosts and organize
their events. This dynamic setup is essential for exchanging cultural experiences and providing personalized dining experiences

Insufficient test coverage and the failure to accurately identify or report defects leads to ineffective bug fixes. This negatively affects the quality and reliability of the product.
