In the end, this is all about wording.
When you think of "correct" in its very fundamental sense, as in correctness, then the answer is simply: no.
You see, the goal of an integration test is to ensure that your integrated system (consisting of multiple, different components) functions as expected. The purpose of an integration test is to verify that your "plumbing" of components works as expected. Therefore: you can't verify that your system works when parts of that system are mocked out.
But then, you can think "correctness" less strictly.
Example: companies selling cars have to test ECUs. Basically a piece of hardware, running a potentially huge software stack. These ECUs normally operate within cars. So when you want to integration test an ECU, you would have to put the ECU into a car for testing, right? A car that probably doesn't exist yet. The solution here: there are hardware emulators. You plug the ECU into that emulator, and the ECU "thinks" that sits inside a real car.
So: there are good arguments to claim "a true integration test can't use mocking", but at the same time, in the real world, such "mocking" happens all the time.
The real answer is therefore: it depends on context. Therefore there isn't a universal answer. Instead, this is about communication. You "simply" have to ensure that all people in your group/org have the same understanding of such terms.
The term itself can be interpreted in different ways. You (jointly!) pick that definition that best fits your needs, to then make sure all people contributing to your project share that view (or at least know about it).

As part of one of my consulting efforts, I worked with a mid-sized company that was looking to move toward a more agile manner of developing software. As with any shift in work style, there is some bewilderment and, for some, considerable anxiety. People are being challenged to leave their comfort zones and embrace a continuously changing, dynamic working environment. And, dare I say it, testing may be the most ‘disturbed’ of the software roles in agile development.
JUnit is one of the most popular unit testing frameworks in the Java ecosystem. The JUnit 5 version (also known as Jupiter) contains many exciting innovations, including support for new features in Java 8 and above. However, many developers still prefer to use the JUnit 4 framework since certain features like parallel execution with JUnit 5 are still in the experimental phase.
Agile project management is a great alternative to traditional methods, to address the customer’s needs and the delivery of business value from the beginning of the project. This blog describes the main benefits of Agile for both the customer and the business.
The best agile teams are built from people who work together as one unit, where each team member has both the technical and the personal skills to allow the team to become self-organized, cross-functional, and self-motivated. These are all big words that I hear in almost every agile project. Still, the criteria to make a fantastic agile team are practically impossible to achieve without one major factor: motivation towards a common goal.
