Settle an argument: what is an integration test, and is that the same as an end-to-end test? Secondly, is testing a React component a "unit test"?

Honestly I am really on the side of … just using the name of the tool. “I’ll add a jest test for that” “Have you finished that Maestro test?” “We need to make sure that’s covered by enzyme tests.”

You could read Valentina Cupac's post (paid) substack.com/home/post/p-... And you could go to the source of her idea @martinfowler.com's blog

substack.comThe New Test PyramidThe Old Test Pyramid (Unit, Integration & E2E tests) - is dead. It's got fundamental problems. That's why we're introducing the New Test Pyramid, so that you can practice effective Test Automation.

martinfowler.combliki: Unit TestUnit Tests are focused on small parts of a code-base, defined in regular programming tools, and fast. There is disagreement on whether units should be solitary or sociable.

martinfowler.combliki: Integration TestIntegration tests see if independently developed units of software work correctly when connected. Traditionally broad they are now better narrowly scoped.

Yeah, I'm also team "it doesn't matter" and "I don't care." Is the test providing value? Is it fragile? Does it break when you make a normal change? I think the testing pyramid is an outdated idea. When it's up to me, I test using whatever the thing's API is and nothing else.
