I'm not convinced they're finding them with unit tests, either. No shortage of public repos with great test coverage that still have pages of Pull Requests and Issues dealing with bugs. In many of those instances, you could argue that it's the act of integration testing (the team trying to use the project) that ends up catching the issues.
- osigurdson 3y agoI think for low level functionality, unit tests and integration tests are the same thing. As an absurd example, consider a function that’s adds two numbers together producing a result.
- adrianN 3y agoIf your whole Program is one unit there is no integration between units that warrants an integration test.
