Discussion on: What do Testers really do?

I agree that testers should only interact with the product and not with the code.
I think unit testing is a very important tool for the developers.
It can help them find bugs easily and deliver the best version of the product to the testers.
Are you a tester yourself?

Unit testing is a very important tool—I didn't want to imply the contrary.

I am a developer by profession, but tested occasionally and am interacting with testers.

Which languages do you work with? do you perform unit testing?

We work mostly with Java and we do unit testing. Why do you ask?

I'm asking because I'm new to the unit testing world, and my team and I recently started working with Typemock for C#, and I wanted to get some feedback about their product... Have you heard about them by any chance?
