I always question the 'business decision' to not write tests. How did management justify this point to the developers? Was there any push back?

I ask because our business team has a similar stance on developers writing tests (i.e. it's not worth the effort).

I think it comes down to the complexity/size of the project, the amount of turn over in the team (with higher turn over you're using going to want more tests and docs), and overall willingness to invest in the product health. Some teams rather take on the technical debt in 1 project so they can move onto other projects.
