Why should an e2e suite be small?
Short interview answer
Each test is slow, resource-heavy, and more prone to nondeterminism than a unit or integration test. A large suite becomes a bottleneck in CI and a source of ignored failures; the value is concentrated in a few critical journeys, and additional coverage belongs at faster levels.
Key takeaway
Explain the underlying mental model clearly, then support it with a concrete example and its trade-offs.
