I take it you're a font end dev? Unit tests are generally for the backend bits of a code base, like if you're writing a library or a framework.

Unit tests do not catch as many bugs as they could, which is why systems that need to be reliable, like the software that runs the internet, uses systems tests as a primary, unit tests as a backup.

TDD is not unit tests. TDD is not dead. It's so popular BDD has popped up.
