You are conflating Acceptance testing with Integration testing. Integration testing allows the interaction of modules or components to be tested. Acceptance testing is larger than this - it tests to ensure that the design has been met.

But I tend to agree - these do look like unit tests, using a mocking framework. Unless I've missed something, I can't see different modules interacting. This doesn't mean that ths bad (actually, it's really interesting to see what they've done here!), and actually it should definitely help them have a higher degree of confidence in their code.

I don't know if you have used Backbone.js, but these tests ensure that models, collection, views, templates, events and our business logic work properly together. It was difficult to show all that in a few small examples.

I know next to nothing about backbone.js :-) I guess I could only go by the examples that were shown. If you are testing how your different software components interact, then you are obviously doing integration testing... Perhaps a better example would have been to take two modules and show how you test that they work together.
