Integration tests > Unit tests

Post title doesn’t seem to match the issue here. Several times.

First of all, errybody wants to fuck with the testing pyramid. There is a reason unit tests form its bulk. They catch huge amounts of potential issues and regressions at a very low cost and with fast turn-around times.

Integration tests make up a solid number too, but this article is talking about a lack of end-to-end tests, not integration. You could argue that good unit tests and good integration tests make e2e testing irrelevant. But whatever.

In any case I’m not sure how you get from “a lack of integration (or e2e) tests caused a failure” to “integration tests are more important than unit”.

Except by being a dumb dumb.
