I get paid for code that works, not for tests, so my philosophy is to test as little as possible to reach a given level of confidence (I suspect this level of confidence is high compared to industry standards, but that could just be hubris). If I don’t typically make a kind of mistake (like setting the wrong variables in a constructor), I don’t test for it. Which is unfortunately complete opposite of how TDD was interpreted, especially in its glory days (and in some corners, up until the present day).
