Testing Your Test Pyramid When It Collapses
from Software Testing with Fexingo: QA, Automation, and Reliable Software Engineering Hosted by Fexingo
In this episode, Lucas and Luna talk about the test pyramid and what happens when your suite grows so large the pyramid's base—your unit tests—turns to sand. We look at a real case: a fintech company whose unit tests take 40 minutes to run and how they rebuilt trust in their fast feedback loop using structural fault injection and slow-test budgets. We also get into why test doubles can mask integration bugs, how to measure test suite 'fitness' beyond coverage, and why the pyramid shape itself may be outdated. If you've ever wondered why your CI feels like an eternity or why your biggest suite still lets bugs through, this episode gives you a concrete playbook for right-sizing your test suite without throwing away what works. #TestPyramid #TestSuite #UnitTesting #IntegrationTesting #SlowTests #CI #FaultInjection #TestDoubles #TestStrategy #SoftwareTesting #QA #Automation #Tech #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #SoftwareEngineering #DevTools #TechLeadership Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
