Which type of testing is most important?
unit, e2e, both?
Unit and integration tests are great place to start but E2E tests combines everything and actually find bugs.
Unit testing
- Fast
- Reliable
- Isolated faillures
- Prefered by developers
- Time consuming
E2E testing
- Simulates a real user
- Catches real bugs
- Often easy to migrate from manual testing
- Prefered by managers
- Needs a deployed service to test
- Many code-paths to test
Tests are about giving confidence to developer
Tests can hold your back
- Not fast enough feedback
- Feedback is unclear
- Updating tests is hard
- Too complex tests
- Too many tests, testing the same
Use the right strategy
Try to minimise the amount of double testing
Use the right tools
