My opinion... That implies too much faith in tests. Tests are no better or worse than any other code. In fact, writing good tests is an art and most people cannot think about every corner case and don’t write tests that cover every code path. So, unless you audit the tests they add no practical additional layer of trust, IMO, to just using the “package” with or without tests.

Many times I've had the most use for a test that didn't fit into the conventional unit test format but I didn't try to get it approved because I didn't want to get into a dogmatic argument about what a test should or shouldn't be. A lot of what I worry about doesn't get tested well using unit tests.

  Why not call it an integration or e2e test and be done with it?
