Thank you! I suppose testing could be related to the 1-1 learning from a private teacher experience, if anything. Since unit testing does provide a nice 1:1 map on if something is right/wrong, I've only truly only ever experienced a similar in a voice lesson or coaching session where I'm stopped/started quite often if a vowel is wrong or my breath is incorrect. My best teacher, Carol Kirkpatrick, stopped me so often I hardly got out more than a measure in a lesson, but wow, I learned! The best unit tests are the same; they are incredibly explicit and will absolutely call for you to fix what's wrong before you move on with your code. Less "bugs" all around!
