I was told that unittest is fast and the tests which touches DB, across network, and touches FileSystem are not unittest.

In one of my testcases, its input are the file names (amount about 300~400) under a specific folder. Although these input are part of file system, the execution time of this test is very fast.

Should I moved this test, which is fast but touches file system, to higher level test?
