Guess what most developers do?

Let's admit it, most devs don't test. There. I said it. Most devs just want to write more features, more new code, more design patterns, more cool algorithm.

Dev 1: "Testing? Testing is not my job. Go ask the QA to do it".

Dev 2: "Yeah... we're just not born to do testing, it's just not how our brain is wired".

Dev 3: ... more excuses why dev shouldn't test ...

I get it that devs aren't good at usability testing. But the majority devs I met don't even want to test their own code. Some don't want to write unit-test, some don't even want to test the functionality of the code they just wrote.

I think there is something incredibly powerful about a continuous integration system that is fully bootstrapped. Being able to know the instant something is broken and run a single build script after a SCM check out to have a fully functioning system should be the goal of every enterprise system, IMO.

Proper unit tests with broad coverage are foundational to both of these ideas.
