When modifying Cloud Build to run unit and integration tests, how can you ensure clarity on where the build fails?

Creating a build config file with separate steps for unit and integration tests promotes clarity in identifying where a build fails because it allows you to explicitly define and isolate the execution environment for each type of test. By structuring the build process this way, each step can be monitored independently, making it easier to pinpoint whether a failure occurred during unit testing or integration testing.

When separate steps are defined, each test's success or failure is reported individually in the Cloud Build logs. This modular approach not only improves the readability of the build logs but also enables developers to adjust or troubleshoot specific areas of the testing process without the risk of affecting other tests.

Moreover, separate steps can facilitate parallel execution or different configurations tailored to each testing stage, further enhancing the efficiency and clarity of the testing process. By providing this granular level of detail, developers can quickly address issues, improving the overall workflow and efficiency of continuous integration practices within their development cycle.
