I remember being asked to make unit tests. I wasn't the programmer and for the better part of a week, they didn't even let me look at the code. Yeah, I can make some great unit tests that'll never fail without access to the stuff I'm supposed to test. /s
I guess it would make sense if you're testing a public API? To make sure the documentation is sufficient and accurate.
Yeah blackbox testing is a whole thing and it's common when you need something to follow a spec and be compatible
He specifically said "unit tests" though, which aren't black box tests by definition
