I wanted to write down some of my thoughts on end-to-end testing, mainly to help clarify my own thinking.

Rule Of Thumb

RSpec examples should have enough detail in the descriptions to rewrite them from scratch.

Rule Of Thumb

Start with high-level tests, and step down to lower levels when the implementation is stable.

Why did Apple not test what happens when a user supplies “True” as their last name? Is it incompetence?

I don’t think so. I think the explanation is simpler: it’s not feasible. It’s highly impractical, if not computationally impossible, to test every input.
