- joe_the_user 17y agoUh, He actually makes some subsidiary points that are worthwhile and don't just fit mold. * A lot of tests people write aren't really unit tests * Unit tests aren't the armor that protects you from error during refactoring. * Unit test don't necessarily improve design, indeed they can have a bad effect on design. So, there's more to the article than the summary - read the article, I think it has merit.
