Untested Code is the Dark Matter of Software
Really good discussion on code unit testing by Cedric Beust on his blog. It is worth reading through the comments on the bottom of the post too to get the different opinions expressed. A really good discussion of the pros and cons of automated unit testing and coverage. I particularly liked the comment by Neil Bartlett:
Half of the time I spend writing JUnit tests is wasted. Unfortunately I don’t know which half.
I just wish that the coding practices at my daytime place of employment had reached the level of maturity that is taken for granted by many of the people commenting on this post.
