The code is still visible if i want to review it.

But since I have a strong rule about always writing unit tests before code, my confidence is a lot higher.

I agree that the test harness is the most important part, which is only possible to create successfully if you are very familiar with exactly how your code works and how it should work. How would you reach this point using a dashboard and just reviewing PRs?
