If you are a very lean team trying to move quickly and progress is more important than stability then it makes no sense to spend time writing tests for code you know will radically change.

It's so frustrating to see teams trying to hit coverage numbers with useless tests. Put a value in a prop and see if the value was rendered. Lol, we've got 90% coverage with mostly useless tests that add no value, but we've got high coverage.

Projects move through different phases and high-performance teams adjust to ensure the business is supported in a way that makes the most sense for each phase.
