Replying to @teh_gerg
Ah indeed, that’s another important point, especially in complex high risk projects. Particularly meaningful with all this microservice salad and abstraction layers.

Replying to @janmuenther
Well, it also provides an end-to-end view of a product at a certain stage, which can help identifying issues emerging from the interplay of its components. But that's another focus than the classical pentest before release idea.
