I agree with this so much. Only yesterday someone picked a ticket off the backlog to change a minor detail on a feature I've been working on. Rather than getting me to do it (a ten second job) this person made the change and also made unrelated changes. Now the user may proceed to the next step and bypass all the validation errors in fields they forgot to put values in.

If they'd ran it, they'd have seen how broken it is. But they didn't run it, and just merged the branch.
