I'd challenge the idea that other fields don't test. That toilet was meticulously tested in development. The flange the plumber is installing was tested against multiple toilet models. When the plumber finishes their installation, they're going to turn the water back on and flush the toilet a few times.
All different kinds of testing : unit, integration, and acceptance or e2e.
Interestingly, I had this exact same conversation with someone else after this discussion. We came to a similar conclusion.
Unit tests are like machines that test other machines. It's like that Ikea drawer they claim you can open and close over 1 million times. How do they know you can open and close it over 1 million times? They have a machine that opens and closes the drawer a million times.
Correct. Perhaps it's the development community which is behind on the notion of wrapping in testing with their day to day work. Seemingly everyone else does it on the regular.
