Description

I want to code a little "control panel" that appears in the web interface in dev mode, which links corner cases from the test suite, like e.g.

"Should render 404 if trying to show a posting that does not exist"
"Should do X when trying to update a posting that does not belong to you"

I am not yet sure how to accomplish this, but I think it might be a good addition to having the edge cases covered by mix test.

Let's have a discussion about this!

Contributor guide

Research direction
Review the existing test suite to identify edge cases, then create a simple control panel page in the development environment that links to those cases. Open a discussion to finalize the design.
