I heard your talk Integrated Tests and then read this. I think I get it now, but I lament that the chosen "integrated" is so close to the word that is trying to distinguish from.

1. Integration Tests would be a abstract idea. The tests that give you confidence that your systems will work together in production
2. Integrated Test is the current default implementation of Integration Test and a scam
3. Collaboration Test is an implementation of Integration Test and the approach you recommend.

I understand your lament, but "integrated" is the correct word to describe what I mean. I have accepted that this will cause some confusion, but using a completely different word would cause other kinds of confusion. "Why didn't you just call them 'integrated'?!" The similarity has both advantages and disadvantages.

I really like your summary here. Thank you for it.
