I can&#x27;t believe it was written by Google engineer... It&#x27;s like promoting of approach &quot;my module works&quot; - when you use unit-tests only, everything can work fine but not in collaboration. How it&#x27;s not obvious for that Google engineer? I&#x27;m sure it even sounds offensive for a lot of Google engineers, especially for those who work on e2e-testing tools. See how many downloads one of them have in npm: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.npmjs.com&#x2F;package&#x2F;protractor" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.npmjs.com&#x2F;package&#x2F;protractor</a><p>It&#x27;s the most awful article what can be found in that blog.

Why does it have to be Unit Tests vs. End-to-End Tests, as opposed to, &quot;a few end to end tests can compliment comprehensive unit tests&quot;?
