The topic of software theory (articles, advices, recommendations) for testing is the biggest failure of this industry
Everyone is trying to figure out how to do it "right"(measuring by their needs)
and all of them struggle to realize that it is always context dependent - two different products, teams, companies may have different expectations and needs
I dont know how this happens that out of all arguable things in software engineering - is it that tests are the most chaotic ones, when up to the principle they are simple: if your code doesnt match specification, then scream!
Dont even get me on how TDD saves the world and is the only way how all software should be written (it is especially funny that tdd is accidentally successful by forcing api design first, yet ppl always argue for it due to red green transition and never due to api design first)
Also the concept of unit as in unit test may differ by kind of software
E.g unit test for parser may feel like e2e test for somebody who works in web apps
