It's shit like this that makes me want to get out of Technology.

42% of the developers acknowledged that they have skipped writing unit tests to focus their time and efforts on developing new features. Further, two-thirds of the developers said that unit test setup is mundane, while more than one-third said they wish they didn't have to write unit tests at all. 

I would say the vast majority of people who took this survey don't understand how software is used by customers. And further, they don't understand all the important parts of how software is created.

The first job of testing isn't to tell you what your software should be doing.

The first job of testing is to you tell you what your software IS doing.

That's something anyone responsible for software should want to know before it reaches the customers.
