The definitions of Unit, Integration, and End-to-End (E2E) tests vary across different perspectives within the programming, software testing, and software automation communities. While there are common themes, such as testing isolated units in Unit tests, testing interactions between components in Integration tests, and testing complete user journeys in E2E tests, the nuances and specific criteria for each type of testing can differ significantly.

If so then quality matters. If you don't care, then why bother spending all the money testing it. You might as well dump it on the user base and fix forward or have a mechanism to back out the change rapidly.

Once the quality conversation is determined then you can start to think about how fast you want the feedback loop to be on failure.
