dbt v1.8 added a feature to be able to unit-test a view or CTAS statement. (a natural extension of dbt since it was designed to assist with moving and renaming the inputs to a view)
I haven't tried it yet but I look forward to doing so. Already dbt macro expansions with tests have provided me way more test coverage than I ever had in the pre-dbt days.
It's a footnote in the article, but it seemed like a natural half-step forward in the direction indicated by the article.
