Such a fantasy, it leads to two problems.

Increased complexity of your systems. Increased pipelines of your system.

You might reduce the likelihood of errors, but at an overproportinal cost of time it takes to complete (which some might argue is irrelevant, but has the cost of human context), and with an way higher time and focus needed for all bugs that the system doesnt work.

You’ll have to fix adapt and maintain all your verification layers, because just because you set them up they are not perfect.

Your testing pipeline becomes incredible slow and you need to maintain it as well.

It’s tremendously weaker than a hands-on approach.

I’ve written this exact same article in January and since then completely switched my position.

Good luck on everyone trying this. You shuffling your own grave and waste time.
