I would just say this for folks who don't like unit tests because it takes longer. Push yourself away from the keyboard and think about it. When one writes codes one writes unit tests in ones head or the code doesn't work. I submit that we always write unit tests. The difference is in one case we keep it so we can run it over and over, in the other case we do it anyway in our heads then throw it away. I am not convinced that writing unit tests now takes any longer. We all know it saves our bacon later. I have personally thrown out entire chunks of code except the unit tests and started from scratch to get things working again. I don't think the value of this can be understated.
