I very much dislike the word end to end testing,<\/p>\n
It means different things to different people, instead I use testing the ‘user journey’…<\/p>\n
End to end can mean:<\/p>\n
1. From the UI to the DB level and back (ends of the tech stack)
\n2. Can mean a user story executed from the UI
\n3. A feature (group of stories) demo over the UI
\n4. The end user’s complete journey which cuts across multiple applications<\/p>\n
For me, only no. 4 is end to end, but it’s so hard to explain to certain people.<\/p>\n
I find testing the ‘user journey’ much easier to get across to the audience.<\/p>\n
And this part of testing is the most neglected, where a user flow is going through multiple systems,<\/p>\n
Each team’s feels responsible from the start and end of their product only..<\/p>\n
