I'm surprised there's so little comment here about testing as a facilitator. As in something that refines your coding ability at the coalface, rather than merely something reassuring you after the fact. For me testing is like the entire team and paraphernalia of surgery, setting me up to undertake the specifics of a critical act, unincumbered by the weight of, "I'm saving someone's life" or, "I'm solving the problem of searching the entire internet in a few milliseconds". Testing let's me create far more complicated things, not just merely sturdier things.
