I was hoping for some interesting insight to be shared, but no it’s just a shallow opinion piece on why E2E is better than unit tests for web interfaces, without really explaining why.
The author misses that component tests don’t have to be like unit tests at all, they are more like integration tests if you test entire pages (which are components too), use actual user interactions and mock only the I/O (mostly network) layer. It’s like E2E without spinning up a backend.
