To avoid getting hung up on taxonomy I much prefer defining the scope of tests with the control theory terms of Observability and Controllability, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observability http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observability. That makes it way easier to categorize tests in terms of how effective they are and gives useful starting point to determine whether the granularity of the test really is able to adequately test the desired behaviour.
