[jira] [Created] (GEODE-8032) Unit tests should not pollute the environment

Kirk Lund created GEODE-8032:
--------------------------------

             Summary: Unit tests should not pollute the environment
                 Key: GEODE-8032
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-8032
             Project: Geode
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: tests
            Reporter: Kirk Lund


Unit tests should not pollute the environment.

From https://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=126923:

A test is not a unit test if:
* It talks to the database
* It communicates across the network
* It touches the file system
* It can't run at the same time as any of your other unit tests
* You have to do special things to your environment (such as editing config files) to run it.

Tests that do these things are good but they should be an integration or system test instead of a unit test.
