Kent is not arguing against integration tests. > I take this as a challenge. I’m happy to write integration tests. I insist on it. But a part of me registers the need for integration tests as a failure or limitation of my design skills. I’ll put that frontier in the back of my mind and a month or a year or a decade later bing I’ll figure out how to raise the level of abstraction, put more of the system in that happy state where I have complete confidence in it, and I’ll have new tools for thinking. Yippee! He is trying to figure out which design abstractions are yet to be invented. It is a challenge not a criticism.
