Gosh, I don't think any game engines have particularly good test suites at all. GoldSource and Source are the only ones that I have any real experience with and neither seems to have anything (Source may have a handful of things but nothing approaching baseline let alone comprehensive).

I have no idea how game devs handle big refactors other than lots of manual testing.

What? I do understand that a CRUD app with little to no logic do not focus on test.

But any kind of engine.. i can not understand that it's not a priority? In general I'm not a big fan of unit test on simple websites, they do not give any real value compared to effort

But I remember working on a complex codename. It was extremely important to have close to 100% unit test in the core part. Saved me a lot.
