As someone who is in the business of software, infrastructure and especially testing for now almost 20 years, i can underline the fact that people often still think of (automated) software testing as something that is not needed. "I tried it, it works, so let's merge it without automated testing." is one of the sentences i heard so many times in my work-life, but even more often i hear "But it worked, yesterday". What is your favorite quote about testing? One of mine is now definitely "testing code and automating things should require the same care and skill as working on your product" as stated by the article. I can fully stand behind that quote. Worth reading!
