For me, the frustration regarding testing comes not from it necessarily being a separate skill set but that writing tests can be daunting considering the tools at hand. Consider, for instance, that only recently has JSDOM even gained a way to log issues inside its own runtime environment, making all usage of it previous to this fix amazingly difficult to debug: https://github.com/tmpvar/jsdom/pull/1108 https://github.com/tmpvar/jsdom/pull/1108 Now this is only one in a myriad of nuanced struggles which I can potentially face as a developer when deciding what and how to test. When these tools facilitate this need without creating such an undue burden then I, and I'd bet many others, will naturally gravitate toward automated testing.
