You've touched on my number one bug-bear about programming classes in general (online, university or otherwise).

The attention testing receives is typically well below insufficient. Especially when, in a high functioning team and environment (and cross-functional environment for that matter) you're going to be spending upwards of 50% of your time writing tests for your code rather than the code itself.

This has slowly started to shift in the online realm, but in my experience universities and other "legitimate" institutions are lagging behind in this regard.

Test away, my friend. Test away!
