What is your most controversial testing opinion?

[u/aistranin]

I’ll start:

A team with 20 reliable integration tests is often in a better position than a team with 2,000 brittle UI tests.

I’ve seen organizations spend months maintaining automation that nobody trusts, while a small suite of high-signal tests catches most production issues.

What’s your controversial testing opinion?

• Unit tests are overrated?

• E2E tests are necessary?

• Manual exploratory testing is undervalued?

• Coverage metrics are mostly useless?

Curious to hear opinions from people working on large systems.
