What it shows

  • Static analysis catches syntax bugs and type mismatches instantly.
  • Integration tests provide the highest ROI by testing combined modules.
  • End-to-end tests verify critical user journeys but are slow to run.

The takeaway

Invest the bulk of your test budget where speed meets realistic system behavior: integration tests.
