The hardest part of end-to-end testing isn’t building the tests, it’s investigating the failures, reproducing the bugs, and maintaining the tests. There’s only so much that a small team can handle.
Use these calculators to estimate the QA engineering budget you’ll need to hit 80% end-to-end test coverage, and run all those tests without slowing down your deployments.

Expect to pay for setup and upkeep infrastructure costs for running your automated E2E tests.
Most teams run tests sequentially, which can take hours. Running tests in parallel is more ideal, yet non-trivial to set up.
