To start, building your automated test suite is a challenge.

If you don't get this right then it will continually bite you. End-to-end testing is a great way to get bitten.

I find that my testing needs heavy controls on the SUT. If I need a third party service to go down, that can have major impacts on the other parts of the test suite. (that is an extreme example but is true for other scenarios).

I need to prove and validate my approach to testing, so you need to get off end-to-end testing and switch to contract testing.
