One recent talk I’ve discovered talked about doing away with end to end tests entirely. They tend to be flakey, constantly being updated, and more time is spent fixing them then the actual value they provide. Here’s the talk that has me somewhat convinced to move away from end to end tests, and rely on frequent deployments. pushtrain.club/
I've been coding for over 20 years now! (WOAH, do I feel old)
I've touched just about every resource imaginable under the Sun (too bad they were bought out by Oracle)
In my particular case, integration tests can and do run on development infrastructure. We have parallel nearly identical infrastructure for development and production, with the main difference being production is scaled up to more nodes in more regions, but otherwise they're the same.
So the local branches are deploying development infrastructure per branch, all branches are deploying to the same infrastructure, or you aren't deploying the software before integration testing it?

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
What about the integration tests that rely on deployed infrastructure? Those are the most important and often overlooked integration tests.
