We are slowly moving towards languages with contracts (like Spec#), where "unit tests" are replaced by "contract tuning" + "functional tests".
I know about functional programming, but it took a few tries with the google-fu to get information on contract tuning and Spec#, so I'm posting links:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_by_Contract
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spec_Sharp
BTW, functional programming and functional tests are not related concepts.
...and so we meet again, what I know for sure that just ain't so. Thanks for the correction; and "black-box testing" seems googleabler. One thing unclear from wikipedia (and further references, the most in-depth of which considered HVAC) is the difference between a functional test and a unit test.
