The main troiuble with X is that its public API (web service) changes from version to version and there is no useful documentation about it. How would one write integration tests for that?
How would you manually test in a situation like that? If you can't interact with the production API because it would corrupt data, and there is no dev API, would you just be guessing that everything works before you deploy your code?
