Nope, we are talking the same language. I use unit testing and system testing.

I can't comment on your comparison of GWT-RPC-mechanism and 'normal
servlets', but I use a couple of different frameworks that full server
side testing is very straightforward. So, I'm just not seeing that
there is a great advantage in testing-efficiency between server X and
server J.
But, I could be missing something.
