[jira] Issue Comment Edited: (FELIX-804) Incorporate the Service
Registry ListenerHook (RFC 126) work done in the CXF DOSGi project
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FELIX-804?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12647736#action_12647736 ]

I guess thats the difference between unit tests and functional tests/system tests. In unit tests you *are* actually testing your implementation details. They are just a way to automatically check that what you've implemented behaves exactly like you've designed it, while in functional tests you're exercising the end user's view. So in my view unit tests are supposed to break when you change implementation details, while functional tests are supposed to remain green.
I guess I personally always like unit tests because they give me great sleep at night. They tell me that stuff that I wrote works the way I intended it. With functional tests it is sometimes harder to get that level of confidence, as certain conditions are hard to control on that level - think of a caching implementation. That would be hard to test on a functional level.
Anyway, it's probably all down to whatever you like best :)
