Test Levels

I’m planning on starting a series of blog posts discussing different testing methodologies, but before I do that, I need to get a rant off my chest, and it pertains to a topic that is discussed ad nauseum whenever you bring up “testing methodologies.” A topic that is, in my mind, neither very interesting nor very valuable and gets in the way of more useful discussions. The pointless conversation we keep having Have you ever been in a meeting and someone starts discussing the relative importance of unit, integration, etc.
