Analyzing the benefits of E2E testing in a project

The adoption of E2E testing as part of software development projects reveals a multitude of benefits that improve the quality and user experience of software products.

While E2E tests offer a multitude of advantages, their implementation is not without its problems. Understanding these obstacles is essential to developing effective strategies for overcoming them:

Complexity: E2E tests often have a labyrinthine structure, which makes them difficult to create and maintain. This complexity stems from the need to test multiple application components and accurately simulate the actions of a real user.
Scaling: E2E tests are prone to instability, a characteristic that manifests itself in intermittent failures for reasons that can be difficult to decipher. This intermittence can compromise the reliability of E2E test results.
Slowness: E2E tests often run at a slow pace due to their global nature, which involves interactions...
