If you have $41m in investment gravy, er, I mean money, by all means, write lots of unit tests and automated test suites. OTOH, if you have OTOOM of $1k or less, and only a few free hours per day or week to put into a project, or a drop-dead-runway of a few months, then tests are your enemy, because there's a lot of additional cost in terms of time and hassle in order to write them and maintain them as you go along. That's not to say that all tests are bad, or that tests never make sense. It's to say that having tests adds a cost, and so sometimes the upside of having them does not justify the downside. |
