It seems to me that software tests is like checking if an architectural design is structurally stable. It's dumb to do that when you still don't have the characteristics of the space where you are building or the materials available, but it's dumb not to do it when you know exactly what and how you are building it. In the same way, it's dumb not to do it when you have already a building and you are going to start to change things. I think the problem is that, being all information, in programing those phases look the same but they are actually very different.
