Dedicated testers can be quite skilled at figuring out ways to break software (sometimes annoyingly so). As a dev I'm usually thinking of how to make my apps work, not how to make them fail.
Unit tests: certainly good, but on one team I recall there being the phrase that a good integration test was worth 1000 unit tests: if the individual parts work but they don't work together correctly as a whole system then what practical value was our unit test?
