Make integrations simple

Integration with other systems is one of the most complex parts of software delivery. Is there a silver bullet that can address issues like flaky tests, unstable environments and non-trivial bugs that slow down the development?

Integration testing is a complex problem. It is good to add a dose of common sense to our work every time we need to make some decisions in this field. Remember, you have three valuable allies that can help:

1. you can stub your view of the external API instead of stubbing the entire API - both for UI & integration tests,
2. you can have a watchdog in form of contract tests to validate integration without exposure to issues related to real API,
3. you can integrate directly with the real API on STAGE and higher environments to stay confident entire system serves its purpose.
