That's exactly what scares me the most. 2018 and we still consider testing as a "nice to have", "plus" or "good to know" at job interviews. I don't understand why it is not obligatory knowledge at the university. Architects learn how to calculate and prove that their buildings will stay, there are simple formulas for every part of the building and if you put measures in them, you'll get the answers, forces, momentums, etc. put all those units together and you'll get a binary answer, can building stays or not. I don't get it why software engineers should not do the same.
