No Real Men arguments here. I did not claim testing isn't necessary. I just wanted to challenge the blatantly religious attitude of pretending or believing that a particular form of testing (one with clearly written tests the poster above me would actually read) is all there is and that you cannot review code otherwise. You definitely can, and must.

As far as I am concerned, all techniques that help improve code are welcome and even necessary. This includes testing, manual review, static analysis, etc.
