Why Vitest is unit test framework?

[romeerez]

I mean, other runners are calling themselves just "test frameworks" (mocha, Jest) and you write the tests how you like, you can write integration tests and E2E tests with them. Cypress is using mocha for E2E tests, Jest + react-test-library for integration tests.

The real question is, am I the only one who is annoyed when people call any tests "unit", do you share this feeling?

And I used to correct others, that "unit" is just the tip of the testing pyramid, you don't always have to follow the unit way, etc.

"blazing fast" is no more than a meme, every new library claims it no matter what, okay we just accept it. But if any test-related library would claim to be "unit testing" we will lose its meaning. Like we already lost the meaning of "framework" and "ORM", and other terms.
