The automated testing page of Drupal documentation is huge, but unfortunately, it leaves so many questions.

There are different types of automated testing - unit, kernel, functional. Do I need them all? Do I run them all? If there so many tests in the core, do I need to add my own? When to run the tests? Why are there tools that reside in the core, others must be installed separately (behat, cypress). How do I choose the right tool to write client-specific tests?
