The document discusses reversing the traditional tests pyramid when dealing with legacy code. It notes that with legacy code, there may be no true units to unit test. Instead, it advocates starting with end-to-end tests to build confidence to refactor the code into units and add integration and unit tests. However, it warns that end-to-end tests are long to maintain. The goal is to slowly reverse the tests pyramid by refactoring code into units and adding tests at each level to manage technical debt over time. Paying down technical debt is important to maintain the ability to change software.
