You&#8217;re probably writing 2-5% of the integration tests you need to test thoroughly. You&#8217;re probably duplicating unit tests all over the place. Your integration tests probably duplicate each other all over the place. When an integration test fails, who knows what&#8217;s broken? When you refactor, you have to fix dozens of integration tests.
