Security and Testing

[eluser]Eric Barnes[/eluser]
For me personally I like unit testing but I really believe it depends on the end result of your code. Take an application like pyrocms if it has unit tests in place then every time they are ready for a release the tests could be ran and confirm everything is working. I know it sounds like a pain to setup but once it is done they are always there and ready.

This also gets more chaotic when more than a couple of developers start contributing and the application gets bigger and bigger. I know I have personally ran into issues where I have added code from a pull request that works as they say but it breaks something else. Then the only way to see the breakage is by actually testing the other situation. If it was unit tested it would immediately be seen before a new release is made.
