The Testing Pyramid is a visual representation of the recommended balance between the types of software tests. It suggests that most tests should be unit tests, followed by fewer integration tests and the fewest end-to-end tests. Unit tests give the most coverage and should be used to test individual components or features, while integration tests check how those components interact. End-to-end tests are the most expensive and time-consuming and should be used to check the full application. This article compares the testing diamond with the testing pyramid and gives us some advice in software testing.
