Yeah it’s not really career choices. The code should be properly done so that it can hit multiple automated test targets.

It’s a symptom less of the career choice and more of poor coding practices.

Oh, we have automated tests out the wazoo. Mostly unit tests, or single-service tests with mocked dependencies.

Due to unfortunate constraints of operating in the real world, one can only run integration tests in-situ, as it were (on real hardware, with real dependencies).
