Unit Tests?

[Nocuous]

Unit tests are worthless, given that they are done by developers.

I'll take unit tests as a show of interest by the developers that they did, kind of, sorta want to deliver a usable product. What I really want is the regression tests, certified by the fugly, old, chain-smoking harridan who runs QA and haunts the dreams of the developers.
