Should unit tests cover stress testing?

Regarding your particuliar example, you should in fact consider to do 2 tests for it:\n\n\nThe first one is a Unit Test, and will check that your function can accept the maximum number of input requested by the requirements. If nothing is specified there, ask for clarification to the analyst. Dynamically generated requests such as this are a pain to debug afterward.\nThe second one is a Stress test. But it should not be performed onthis particular part of your code, but rather on the integrated part tha will use it. If you start stress testing unit block, you'll end up doing premature optimisation because you'll loose the big picture and start making assumptions on how this will work togetheter rather than observing how it does really.\n",

I believe that stress tests should be implemented as part of unit testing. Generally your unit tests should contain\n\n\nAccuracy tests\nFailure tests\nStress tests\n\n\nIf you don't want to run stress tests each time when you running other tests, you can consider to group stress tests in separate text fixture.",
