If it's an environment I'm comfortable with, writing unit tests is faster than testing by hand.

If it's not an environment I'm comfortable with... dear lord it is absolutely brutal to write any kind of test.

You must be a fantastic coder because personally I can’t write code without unit tests.
I like hearing about different heterodox approaches.
