Best analytical article I've personally seen on here, awesome!

For me, having testability and testing early in development, and particularly having a tight feedback loop, is good for my morale and confidence as a developer. Maybe it's the way I was brought up as a developer, but I get really nervous when I write too many lines of code without holding it up to some standard at run-time.

Like others have mentioned, though, adding unit testing to a body of code not designed for it seems like an utter nightmare most companies will forbid.
