Any experienced programmer knows her job stretches much further than merely typing instructions in a programming language. Just as programmers need pressure and experience to appreciate the importance of documenting their code, they need to be educated about the importance of testing. Writing tests is usually considered as a waste of time, and sometimes even a loss of "productivity".
