I never write unit tests. However I have written more than 1000 end-to-end system tests for one of the very large C++ libraries I am maintaining. And I am generating an additional 9000 regression tests from large customer examples using the library.

The result is that I haven’t had a single bug in production for 5+ years. One even one.

Worth it!
