We use these terms (sort of informally):

Unit Test - smallest unit possible/practical (e.g. lowest level method/function).

Component Test - aggregate of units (e.g. class or aggregating function/method).

Functional Test - system function (e.g. endpoint communication over a socket, public API).

Acceptance Test - performed over the compiled executable (e.g. customer acceptance).

We target full Unit Test coverage and Component and/or Functional as necessary to ensure expected aggregate behavior. No external dependencies (e.g. Python or other tools), just Boost Test in our pattern. Can be data-driven (which is when we allow loops in a test). Acceptance is outside of the build (against the executable or compiled lib).
