God. I had to take over R&D of a service at work and despite the rest of our division already using 2 unit testing libraries and 3 testing idioms, they picked a fourth and a totally different reporting tool.

To be fair, one of those I introduced, because the oldest one we were using was demonstrably broken and prone to human error. I followed it up by shopping it around and getting others on board. One guy I deputized got a promotion in part from finishing what I started. The old one is just barely hanging around due to inertia and fear of breaking changes, but the coverage (% of overall, and I'm pretty sure LoC as well) continues to dwindle.

These guys picked a new one and then did nothing. Never talked about it, never pitched it to anybody, just forked our testing process. If that was the biggest problem with this code I'd just roll up my sleeves and fix it, but they broke so many other rules too - ours and ecosystem rules - that this is the least of the problems with the code. I might get around to looking at it in six months. I've been working on it for three months already.
