Yes let's move towards more coarse grained tests so we can lets the fine grained subtle bugs slip through. You know stuff like heartbleed. Theres a good idea.
To be fair a lot of unit test regimes wouldn't have caught something like heartbleed. Specifically cause it's a security issue and not necessarily a functional issue. But the point is software is damn complex and easy to screw up.
Maybe rather than doing ultimately less test (system instead of unit). We should be slowing down doing even more test at ALL levels (unit, system, GUI, security, performance, whatever) and building something to the best of our abilities. Or does that even matter anymore in the MVP build and sell quick software world?
