J B Rainsberger Integrated Tests Are A Scam HD
Christopher Cabanne
J. B. Rainsberger argues that large integrated tests are a scam: they are slow, fail opaquely, and give a false sense of coverage. He advocates focused collaboration and contract tests at boundaries instead.
HN recommends it in testing-strategy debates as the classic case for fewer integration tests and more small, well-contracted unit tests.
