The following are some of the reasons why it is of utmost importance to write unit tests:
- Help reduce bugs: A code having good unit test coverage will result in lesser bugs appearing during different SDLC stages such as QA, UAT, and production. As a result, this will help creating a robust product whose changes can be deployed in production in a quicker manner.
- Highly maintainable code base: A code which is easy to change is the code which is easy to maintain, and hence, can be termed as highly maintainable code. A code being supported by unit tests becomes easy to change/refactor, and hence, highly maintainable code as one or more unexpected changes would lead to failure of the unit test cases. In that manner, code testability ...
