What makes integration tests less preferable for you?

Integration tests are less preferred when:

• They require significant resources and time to execute compared to unit tests.
• It is difficult to isolate the tested components, which complicates error diagnosis.
• Maintaining a test environment with external services or databases is challenging.
• Frequent changes in integrations lead to frequent updates of tests, increasing maintenance costs.

In such cases, it is preferable to use unit tests for quick logic verification and minimize integration tests, reserving them for critical interaction scenarios.
