I've been on both types of projects. A big side effect of writing tests extensively is that the code is often more thoughtfully written and in smaller chunks.

I've been on both types of projects. A big side effect of writing tests extensively is that the code is often more thoughtfully written and in smaller chunks. No one wants code that is hard to test or large enough that it requires extensive mocking and faking. Gut feel is that the code quality could be better on more deeply tested code.
