Why would I want to create tests for every part of the code? I did that for years because I was taught that, but I came to realize it never mattered - if a test breaks it is because of the last thing I changed. I have a few flakey tests from time to time, but they have been not too bad to track down nd often taught me enough about how the system really worked as to be worth the time anyway.
