The pyramid is economics: many fast unit tests, fewer integration tests, few end-to-end tests — because feedback speed and maintenance cost decide

Unit tests run in seconds and pinpoint failures; E2E tests run in minutes and fail ambiguously. Invert the pyramid and every release waits on a flaky hour of browser tests.
Business logic and edge cases at unit level; contracts and data flows at API/integration level; only the critical user journeys (login, checkout, core workflow) at E2E.
Units on every commit, integration on merge, E2E on deploy candidates — gates that block honestly and finish fast enough that nobody routes around them.
Coverage on critical paths, defect-escape rate, and pipeline duration — 90% coverage of getters is vanity; 90% of the money path is safety.
Skipping the discipline this article describes until an incident, audit, or stalled project forces it — every practice above is cheaper adopted early than retrofitted under pressure.
