I write more profusely when the nature of the work/design is familiar and when the tooling validates well-drafted coding through contracts, typing, syntax checking, autocomplete, live warnings, etc I test sooner and more frequently when the work is unfamiliar or fragile/finicky, or when the tooling is more permissive or less capable. In terms of process, complexity and size are largely eclipsed by the above factors. They matter more for how long the whole process takes.
