Fast 'End-to-End' Testing with GraphQL
summary
Claims that GraphQL lets teams run true end-to-end checks without launching both client and server, by turning client and server specs into a shared contract test that compares the operation and variables and the execution context, then reuses the server result as the client mock. Proofs at OK GROW! and limited production runs report it works, speeds feedback to < 1s tests, and reduces full end-to-end suites while warning about auth/context edge cases and setup complexity.
