Not just unit-tests alone, most testing in general. There was an insightful thread about this on the testing-in-python lists that discussed this in detail quite recently. http://lists.idyll.org/pipermail/testing-in-python/2013-February/005399.html Terms like bvt, smoke, uat, integration test, system test, functional test are out in the wild! Google apparently just uses small, medium, large for the complexity of the test being written be it unit/functional etc. -- Prasanna.,
