I always enjoy readings of authors, that are as passionate about testing as I am. So here comes my 2 cents: I think there's nothing wrong with the process that we have today, except that the developer needs to care about his work. If he doesn't - then the process we have today is highly flawed and we need something like you suggested in Noop. For me, the approach we have today works great! I like writing tests and I like to make sure that my code works. I cannot imagine writing my tests in the production code, although I cannot come up with any objective arguments against it - it just doesn't feel right. One more thing: here's a blog post of mine, about changing your production code - http://dlinsin.blogspot.com/2009/04/using-reflection-in-unit-tests-ii.html Thanks for the great blog post!

The D programming language has unittests builtin. http://www.digitalmars.com/d/index.html http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/class.html#UnitTest I’ve found that when the unittess can be written right next to the code that is being tested makes it easier to maintain the tests and even write them in the first place.
