Q81 / 100
In the test pyramid, what is a key risk of having too many end-to-end (E2E) tests relative to unit tests (the "inverted pyramid" or "ice cream cone" anti-pattern)?
Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is A) E2E tests tend to be slower, more brittle, and harder to debug, so an overreliance on them leads to long feedback loops and flaky pipelines
A
Correct Answer
E2E tests tend to be slower, more brittle, and harder to debug, so an overreliance on them leads to long feedback loops and flaky pipelines
Explanation
E2E tests exercise the full stack and are sensitive to environment issues, making them slower and flakier; the pyramid favors many fast unit tests with fewer, targeted E2E tests for critical flows.
