Unit testing versus validation testing

[rickecon]

@quainialberto asked the following with regard to Problem 1 in the Object Oriented Programming lab:

I am approaching Problem 1 of OOP and we are required to test our object. Since we leant how to do unit testing, can we create a unit test to test our object or we need to write the test like in the example given inside the problem formulation? Thanks, Albi

You should do the testing as is stated in Problem 1 of the OOP lab. The testing requested and shown in Problem 1 of OOP is called validation testing and is different from unit testing. Both are important.
