Or, from another perspective - you are doing end-to-end testing, the question is whether you're doing it before production or if your customers are doing it for you...
- coryrc 5y agoTests are never 100%, customers will always find issues. They made the choice to allow slightly more bugs to production than before, not to go from never having bugs in production to having some.
- alex-freire 5y agowe didn't see more bugs in production when we sunseted E2E. in fact, complementing contract tests with acceptance tests we saw less bugs in production and more productive test creation and maintanence. :-D
- rgoulter 5y ago> you are doing end-to-end testing, the question is whether you're doing it before production or if your customers are doing it for you. This reminds me of the point I've seen made elsewhere: E2E tests can be complemented by use of monitoring metrics, healthchecks, etc. for providing confidence that the system is working as intended (or for spotting cases where it's not working as intended).
