I don't miss that point. I just first want to check if the suggested tests are the best we can do and I think that we should concentrate our integration tests on the areas where we know that regressions happen quite often. I think you know the joke: A man looks for his lost key under a streetlamp though he lost it in a dark corner some meters away. When he is asked why he does so he answers: "Because I can see much better here!" I want to avoid that we will do exactly this: searching for something else somewhere else just because we don't know how to find what we *really* want to find. I can't understand why this is so hard to grasp.
