Also you feel more like to refactor, because you'll know almost instantly if you broke something so it gives you a lot of confidence in your code.

I'm currently in the middle of our first re-factor and I've decided to start building Unit Tests along the way. What I've found is that while unit testing is time consuming, it does help you rethink about your and how it is designed. I've found a number of bugs by simply building unit tests. Unit tests are also a great way to document your code. When you look at a function, I often wonder just what should the data it receives look like. Unit tests give you a way to see exactly what a function is given and what it returns. This helps when you need to call it later. Oh, and VIM Rocks!

The service is really great (unfortunately I don't know how expensive it is), very helpful to catch errores before users and make introspective research. A red siteconfidence alert was like a earthquake for the operation's team :) Cheers! Hi Chris,
