Imagine a scenario where an e-commerce platform is managed by multiple teams, each responsible for different parts of the user journey — the product catalog, shopping cart, payments, and user accounts. As new features are added, the duration of the end-to-end tests grows significantly because these tests need to cover cross-team workflows, such as adding items to the cart, checking out, and applying discounts. The larger the scope of the end-to-end tests, the slower and more difficult they become to manage, making it harder to efficiently test these cross-functional flows.
What strategies could be implemented to address this issue and streamline the testing process without compromising test coverage or quality?
