The article argues that developers should write tests despite common objections about time, customer value, or difficult codebases. Drawing on experiences with JUnit, Maven, and an IDE, it presents testing as a source of confidence and as a way developers show empathy toward coworkers.

## Source excerpt

Let's start with confessions. The initial idea to kick-off a series of articles about testing was the shortest article ever. A single phrase. Just do it. I mean, isn't it obvious that testing is awesome and useful? Unfortunately, after talking to dozens of developers I've come to the shocking fact that most of them don't write tests. Our customer doesn't pay for tests. We don't have time. The codebase is impossible to test. I've heard these words over and over again.
