> there is a reason why the extra word is there. Fashion, but there is no good reason for it to be there. It does not communicate anything.

  I appreciate your historical account but words have acquired or changed meaning frequently in the past ("hacker" or "cloud" just to name a couple of obvious ones). There is a large number of people using terms like unit, integration, system or end-to-end to differentiate between different types of automated tests ran in an xUnit-style framework: why insist on not allowing the term to gain a new meaning?

    The term is free to find new meaning, but so far nobody has found any scenario that is in need of differentiation.

      As this discussion made obvious, a lot of people have: it's ok that you are in disagreement, but I think it's disingenuous to claim otherwise.
