Is there a point to unit tests that stub and mock everything public? In the method that you are talking about, I am making sure that the proper calls are being made. The method's job is to call objectA.foo() then objectB.bar() so that is what I am going to make sure. Suppose at some future date, the order matters. You are able to adjust the test to ensure this. Or that conditionally objectC.baz() will be called, the test will ensure that. |

Using only UI testing. Is that Ok? Some testing is better than no testing. But just keep in mind that you will have a hard time getting good code coverage with UI testing alone. |

If functional testing is referred as black box..how can it be done on unit test level? You need to be able to see what is going on to determine lower level units so hence white box. But when doing the test it would be considered black box as you are not looking at what is going on inside the system. |

What's the standard practice to prevent users from having unreasonable expectations? @AakashM To me that is semantic, I would say expecting that a system work all the time is not unreasonable. Understanding the fact that things don't always work is something different. |
