How to test routes' middleware?

Let's say I have a group of routes which are protected by a middleware:

Route::group(['middleware' => 'verified'], function () {
    Route::get('/profile', 'ProfileController@show')->name('profile.show');
    Route::get('/settings', 'SettingsController@show')->name('settings.show');
});

How can I test that these routes are protected by verified middleware? If I write those tests, are they considered as feature tests or unit tests?
