Yes, you just focus on a few high level behaviors that you want to validate, instead of the units. It’s more difficult to pull these tests off, as there are more chances for them to become flaky tests, but if they work they provide much more value. I’d prefer a dozen well written integration tests over a hundred unit tests. Having said that, both solve different problems, ideally you have both. But when time-constrained, I always focus on integration tests with actual services underneath.
