Thanks for the detailed response.

I think a lot of companies have some portion of their code that's been avoided for a variety of reasons. I think adding unit tests, simple automated tests and quick CI processes can really alleviate that fear...so eventually that section can be refactored (or moved to a service, etc).

I appreciate what you're saying about needed to be more deeply connected with the code for truly valid tests. What I'm wondering is if there's a happy middle ground where code shops just want basic coverage around their code.
