If you don't write automated tests or do test-driven development, you might move quickly to begin with - writing code and doing small amounts of manual testing.
|
|
|
|
But, once you start changing the code to add new features or fix bugs, things will begin to slow down.
|
|
|
|
You'll have more to test and need to ensure you don't break the existing functionality as well as your new code works.
|
|
|
|
Whilst it may be faster initially, skipping tests will cause problems later.
