May 31, 2016 at 20:30 comment added T. Sar @jameslarge I'm not arguing with that. As I said, Unit testing is the one of the best... best practices out there, and one of the first things to be considered when thinking about improvements on the process. Still, it's not the only way to do it. It may be the best, tho.
May 31, 2016 at 20:10 comment added Solomon Slow @ThalesPereira, a unit test that tells you whether the change that you made forty seconds ago broke something is a lot more agile than the report you get back from the QA department telling you that something somebody changed three days ago broke it.

Added specific point on unit-testing.
May 31, 2016 at 19:00 comment added T. Sar I do understand your point of view. However, the question asks about unit tests in special, not exactly tests in general. Reading your answer on the context of the question makes one consider your testing as "unit testing"!
May 31, 2016 at 18:51 comment added Axel Yes, of course. I did not say you can't do it manually. I did say any kind of test. I was not stating any form of disagreement on testing. And as for your manual testing, it's on a different perspective on your end on how you can keep up being agile while facing regressions.
May 31, 2016 at 18:39 comment added T. Sar You can test it manually. You don't need unit tests for it. They help. A LOT. They are like the top thing that can improve a process. But they are by no means essential to deliver software.
