Kri,
I've never heard that term. Google hasn't either, so I'm going to interpret all the keywords separately.

batch - Automatically feed a test multiple input files.
load - Test how code behaves with many users.
unit test - Test a unit of code. Typically without a database.

Not typically. By definition

Not to quibble, but it depends on whose definition you are using. I agree with the one that says no server or database may be involved. But I've seen so many people use the term "unit test" to refer to component level integration testing - in books, on interviews, etc.

One of my interview questions (if someone says they use JUnit) is how they define a unit test. I don't hold any answer against them (except for something like they haven't heard of a unit test), but the responses are fascinating.

So if some books are using this definition and people believe it, I felt it useful to at least mention it. Especially given that "batch load unit test" makes no sense to me!
 
I agree. Here's the link: http://aspose.com/file-tools
