They don't, and the article doesn't imply this.
A lot of stuff that gets on checklists is because not knowing about it killed someone. Other documented procedures came from time in the simulator - somewhat anagolous to manual user testing.
To be honest, the only people I know ascribing "magical capabilities" to unit testing are those disparaging it. The rest of us think it's great, and makes life a lot easier, but we've all been bitten by that unexpected bug when you see it working in the real world.
- jimktrains2 13y agoExactly. I've always hated the "You can't test what you don't know so it's worthless." Well sorry, I can test what I do know and make sure that I don't break that. As new errors come upon, you add it to your tests (akin to checklists, essentially), and make sure you don't break that use case again.
