单元测试告诉开发人员代码的工作是正确的;功能测试告诉开发人员代码正在做正确的事情。

单元测试和功能测试在现实生活中的类比可以描述如下:

Many times the development of a system is likened to the building of a house. While this analogy isn't quite correct, we can extend it for the purposes of understanding the difference between unit and functional tests. Unit testing is analogous to a building inspector visiting a house's construction site. He is focused on the various internal systems of the house, the foundation, framing, electrical, plumbing, and so on. He ensures (tests) that the parts of the house will work correctly and safely, that is, meet the building code. Functional tests in this scenario are analogous to the homeowner visiting this same construction site. He assumes that the internal systems will behave appropriately, that the building inspector is performing his task. The homeowner is focused on what it will be like to live in this house. He is concerned with how the house looks, are the various rooms a comfortable size, does the house fit the family's needs, are the windows in a good spot to catch the morning sun. The homeowner is performing functional tests on the house. He has the user's perspective. The building inspector is performing unit tests on the house. He has the builder's perspective.

总结一下，

单元测试是从程序员的角度编写的。它们用于确保类的特定方法(或单元)执行一组特定的任务。

功能测试是从用户的角度编写的。它们确保系统按照用户的期望运行。

我认为它是这样的:单元测试确定代码执行了您希望代码执行的操作(例如，您想要添加参数A和b，实际上是将它们相加，而不是减去它们)，功能测试测试所有代码一起工作以获得正确的结果，因此您希望代码执行的操作实际上在系统中获得了正确的结果。

“功能测试”并不意味着测试代码中的函数(方法)。一般来说，这意味着您正在测试系统功能——当我在命令行上运行foo file.txt时，file.txt中的行可能会颠倒过来。相反，单个单元测试通常包含单个方法的单个情况——length(“hello”)应该返回5,length(“hi”)应该返回2。

另请参阅IBM关于单元测试和功能测试之间界限的论述。

单元测试通常由开发人员完成。这样做的目的是确保他们的代码正常工作。一般的经验法则是使用单元测试覆盖代码中的所有路径。

功能测试:这是一个很好的参考。功能测试说明

单元测试

单元测试包括测试最小的代码单元，通常是函数或方法。单元测试主要由单元/方法/函数的开发人员完成，因为他们了解函数的核心。开发人员的主要目标是通过单元测试来覆盖代码。

它有一个限制，即某些函数不能通过单元测试进行测试。即使在成功完成所有单元测试之后;它不保证产品的正确操作。相同的函数可以在系统的少数部分中使用，而单元测试仅为一种用途而编写。

功能测试

It is a type of Black Box testing where testing will be done on the functional aspects of a product without looking into the code. Functional testing is mostly done by a dedicated Software tester. It will include positive, negative and BVA techniques using un standardized data for testing the specified functionality of product. Test coverage is conducted in an improved manner by functional tests than by unit tests. It uses application GUI for testing, so it’s easier to determine what exactly a specific part of the interface is responsible for rather to determine what a code is function responsible for.

AFAIK，单元测试不是功能测试。让我用一个小例子来解释。您希望测试电子邮件web应用程序的登录功能是否正常工作，就像用户一样。为此，您的功能测试应该如下所示。

1- existing email, wrong password -> login page should show error "wrong password"!
2- non-existing email, any password -> login page should show error "no such email".
3- existing email, right password -> user should be taken to his inbox page.
4- no @symbol in email, right password -> login page should say "errors in form, please fix them!" 

我们的功能测试是否应该检查我们是否可以使用无效输入登录?如。电子邮件没有@符号，用户名有多个点(只有一个点是允许的)，.com出现在@之前等等?一般来说，没有!这种测试会进入单元测试。

您可以检查单元测试中是否拒绝了无效输入，如下面的测试所示。

class LoginInputsValidator
  method validate_inputs_values(email, password)
    1-If email is not like string.string@myapp.com, then throw error.
    2-If email contains abusive words, then throw error.
    3-If password is less than 10 chars, throw error.

注意，功能测试4实际上做的是单元测试1所做的。有时，由于不同的原因，功能测试可能会重复单元测试所完成的部分(而不是全部)测试。在我们的示例中，我们使用功能测试4来检查在输入无效输入时是否出现特定的错误消息。我们不想测试是否所有坏的输入都被拒绝了。这就是单元测试的工作。
