→Ownership and Overlap
Ownership is separated because these differences can lead to variations in needs for breadth and depth of testing.
Tests can and should overlap between Gaia Integration and Gaia Acceptance. It is unacceptable process complication for QA to expect developers to always consult their needs and vice versa for every change. If the test flows are shared, it's all too easy for one group to inadvertently make a change that damages the purpose of the other. For acceptance, in particular, this is too risky, as proper acceptance depends heavily on maintaining a particular scope and depth.
Avoiding these communication issues and this risk requires separate tests, even to the point where there might be tests whose flow is entirely duplicated between the two suites.
