Yonik Seeley commented on SOLR-4169:
------------------------------------
While we're discussing the way things should ideally be.... if I had my way, we
wouldn't need tests because people wouldn't add bugs ;-)
The labels of "integration" or "unit" don't really matter much here - they are
all important and need to be run.
Integration tests are needed to ensure things work more full-stack. Lower
level tests can be useful to either test more combinations quickly, or for an
aid in debugging. Tests that are too low level can also be a maintenance
nightmare too, because they assert current implementation details you don't
really care about.

> I'm at the end of my rope.
> Last week I tried to help with this: but its already wednesday and solr tests
> are 20x worse.
> Users are complaining that they cannot get snapshots and test them, because
> the tests fail all the time.
> Maven dependencies are wrong, but we never knew, because the tests never
> succeeded so the validation task hasn't actually run in months.
> I think fixing this situation is a blocker to release: I can't imagine a
> bigger blocker actually.
