Quality of software cannot be overrated.

The utility of unit tests towards this end is often overrated, though. The interesting/nasty things happen when you put the units together. Testing the units (e.g. and mocking out the others) is over-emphasized as compared to testing that /everything/ works together as intended.

On a different topic I am now making my way through Illegal Argument.
It may take a couple of weeks. Is there also another podcast called
"Stack Overflow"?
The first 3 episodes of Illegal Argument are not on iTunes. Are they
available somewhere else?
