Tests are a great thing when everyone involved understands their value. In my former team we had a big number of unit & integration tests that saved my ass many times.
On the other hand, when the team has a KPI "we need a big test coverage!" and people are lazy or simply bad developers, you end up with a code like
try {
runTheWholeApp()
} catch (e) {}
assertTrue(itRan)
