Err, my apologies if that came across as a slight, I literally meant you and a lot of other folks made the exact same mistake. No judgement intended, it's clearly a common misapprehension. My guess is that a lot of folks got introduced to unit testing through test-driven development and, as a result, conflate the two, assuming the former necessarily implies the latter. Speaking for myself, I was writing UTs long before the TDD fad landed and so I never picked up the habit. It's just not the way my developer mind works, and I've not found it compelling enough to try and re-train myself. That said, not believing in the value of automated regression test (of which UTs are the lowest hanging fruit) is utter madness...
