I agree, though I've had some nasty bugs pass unnoticed by 3 people in a review, that could've easily been prevented with proper tests (I say proper, as there were tests, but not testing the correct things though)

I'd say that the "best" solution would be a healthy combination of good practices, tests, reviews, and any other mechanisms we see fit for the project. And good management of course ;)

Many different people, many different projects, many different circumstances. There is no one-size-fits-all solution. Therefore, there are many different approaches and not only one of them is successful. I tend to think that testing is useful, but testing alone is not the key success factor.
