I think this validates my view that testing is important, but keeping the codebase clean, readable and modular is more important!

Why not both?

[frogpelt]

Yes, both. But maybe one is more important?

I'd argue the tests is more important for example Oracle is still the leading commercial DB, If your product works people will buy it.

Isn't that mostly due to momentum? But if Oracle can't keep up with the features customers need, they'll lose that momentum.

Enterprise software sales cycles are slow, but once they start turning, it's hard to turn them back.
