Ah sorry, my bad, now I think I understand what you said, you meant how that framework calls them.

I replied for an abstract/conceptual level, how you write them, what they are for and when they are run (and how long they should take).

And to answer to the the post question, unit tests are not supposed ti hit any dependency, outside of that function, so it is ok. But you may want to check the other 2 types of tests
