I have at times worked with people who, when the TFS task said, "implement this feature", interpreted it to mean "write code vaguely resembling this feature and mark the task complete" but not "test the code works" or even "run the code at least once". It was, apparently, someone else's (whose?) responsibility that the program as a whole actually work. I tried explicitly writing "and write the test and make sure it passes" in the task, and others on the team successfully argued that that is two tasks (we were rated on task completion). But when I made that a separate task, often a different person would end up assigned the task of fixing the result of the other. Anyone who cranked through a lot of the former was rewarded by management for getting so much work done, those who undertook the latter were seen as wasting time perfecting something that was already (supposedly) "done".
