So your answer is after production code?

This doesn't answer the question. He's asking if production code is written after integration tests are written. Your answer can be taken either way.

With regard to unit tests, I would take issue with "smallest possible bit of software". Test what is in the contract (e.g. an object's public methods, a library's exported functions) because the contract defines what has to work. Other things are testable, yetdoing so is not only a waste of time but counterproductive.
