In an ideal world, I agree. This is possible for pure functional programming where state is avoided. However, when dealing with object oriented, imperative programming, state changes cannot be avoided. Thus if a method requires an object be passed to it, I'd like to verify that object is being constructed correctly by the object factory, before verifying that the method which uses said object, is correct. Or is there some other way of doing this? I'm new to unittesting.
