> I never understood the fascination with Unit Tests. Me neither. The legacy forms of testing that "unit" was trying to differentiate from have died out. All tests are unit tests today, which is why most developers just say "tests". "Unit" is already implied and adds no additional information not already understood by "test" alone. Same goes for integration tests. Integration tests, as it was historically defined, died out. It seems anyone still trying to use the term today is using it to also just mean "testing", or what was historically known as unit testing. Like unit, a pointless qualification.
