I hope car makers don't test their engines following your rationale of "if parts work fine separately, they will also work when assembled altogether". That's a huge fallacy. Mainly because of Greg's comment the call to A that calls out to B and C based on some conditions.

| Jan 18, 2023 at 19:02 | comment | added | Euphoric | The tests are meant to answer question "When tests are green, do you feel safe about deploying into production?" If adding the integration test makes you feel safer, then do it. If not, then do not. | |
| Jan 18, 2023 at 18:54 | comment | added | Greg Burghardt | Could you edit your question to include some example or pseudo code to illustrate this "integration"? | |
| Jan 18, 2023 at 18:52 | comment | added | Greg Burghardt | I personally do not think this question is opinion-based. The key here is: 'The "integration" is the call to A that calls out to B and C based on some conditions'. | |

| Jan 18, 2023 at 18:50 | comment | added | Greg Burghardt | I see a vote to close this as opinion-based. It wasn't me, but I don't know if we can identify a single recommendation here. There is definitely an element of subjectivity here, but I'm not sure if it really means this question is opinionated. | |
| Jan 18, 2023 at 18:41 | comment | added | PhD | If there is a request for close, I'd really appreciate a reason as it'd provide me an opportunity to reflect and possibly clarify and possibly delete/close the question myself. I'm aware it's not necessary to provide a reason, but I'm humbly requesting for one. | |
