We do have some "real" unit tests in QEMU, but because a large part of
it is not suitable to inclusion as a library, there's also something in
the middle for QEMU.
Both qtest and qemu-io-tests are in some sense integration tests because
they need working binaries (respectively qemu and qemu-io). However,
the protocol spoken to the binary, and the kind of stimuli in the test
are designed to affect a particular function or module of QEMU; that
makes the tests more similar to a unit test, especially for qtest which
is written using gtest or PyUnit.
This is where we want to have most of test case growth in the
not-so-long term.
