It's tempting to start a new thread asking if there is anyone NOT
using junit during development ;-) ... but that probably wouldn't help
you much.

If there is a single big secret to being successful with JUnit it is
virtuous circle of :

  testability -> more tests -> more testability -> more tests

Three or four times around this loop and you will probably also wonder
how you ever managed without unit tests.

Many newcomers to automated unit tests expect to be able to test their
code with no changes or are reluctant to make changes /just/ to make
it easier to test... they often give up on the whole deal because they
find it too hard.

I blogged about this a while back :
