Answer
They offer system-wide assurance but are resource-intensive.
Integration tests validate the interaction between components in a system, providing confidence that they work together as expected. However, they are more resource-intensive compared to unit tests and require more setup, such as database connections. For example, testing the complete checkout flow in an e-commerce site ensures all parts work together but requires setting up the entire environment.
