What is an integration test
My basic rule of thumb is that if
a test uses the database
a test uses the network
a test uses an external system (e.g. a queue or a mail server)
a test reads/writes files or performs other I/O
…then it is an integration test and not a unit test.

Your integration tests however hava a different naming convention. They are named as “name of class + IT”. IT stands for Integration Test.

JavaConfig JavaConfig is the most recent way to configure Spring applications, bringing both compile-time (as autowiring) and explicit configuration (as XML) safety. 

ContextConfiguration(classes = {MainConfig.class, FakeDataSource.class})
Unit & Integration Test in Cassandra
http://mergetag.com/unit-integration-test-cassandra/

1. Use mocking libraries.
2. Use an embedded cassandra server.
3. Use a real cassandra cluster.

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@TestExecutionListeners({ CassandraUnitTestExecutionListener.class })
@EmbeddedCassandra
@ContextConfiguration(classes = {
        ValidationConfig.class})
public abstract class BaseTransactionalSpringContextTestLegacy extends AbstractTransactionalJUnit4SpringContextTests {
 @Test public void xxx_xxx() { 
                   } 
}
