Yes, for sure I don't want to enter a religious debate here right now ;-)
As I said, I'm always interested in understand the perspective and experience of other developers.
And I fully support the conclusion in your linked post, that people tend to be bad at spotting mistakesin their code and we therefore should combine multiple techniques to reduce the number of errors.
For me, a more and more important part is support from the language and compiler, the often (probably too often) quoted "making illegal states unrepresentable". This and a type system can reduce the number of simple automated tests and gives more time to focus on testing the actual logic (again, my experience).
But of course, everyone is today what the own experience made him or her and there are good reasons for each view.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
