the only kind of testing that can actually be approached in a manageable way is unit testing. in order to achieve this, a unit test is so narrowly defined that it's useless.

when i'm writing code, i want to test that my codes assumptions about the overall state of the program is correct. that's the unknown. i know what my code does, so why test it? what i want to be testing is how my code interacts with other code.

well, guess what, that's impossible.
