Exceptions in software represent a mechanism for raising an alarm when something goes wrong. They are used when there is a potential problem that cannot be detected by the compiler, linker, or other automated aspect of the development process, and thus may potentially make it into the released product.

With a name like TEST-driven development you’d expect TDD is mostly about testing. In our book Design Patterns Explained we discussed how testability (how easily code can be tested) is an intrinsic property of software and is highly correlated with good design. Especially when the end result is tests.

When organizations adopt TDD as their development paradigm, early results can be quite good once the teams get over the initial learning curve. Code quality goes up, defect rate goes down, and the team gains confidence which allows them to be aggressive in pursuing business value.

You’ll be relieved to hear that you’re in the majority, and also that there are quick (and easy) steps you can do to prove that instrumenting your code is worthwhile. In the same way as the business is likely ok with you writing developer-based tests (unit, automation, integration), instrumentation is the same. Thanks for the question!

But infrastructure is often left untested, and it requires architectural changes that are out of reach for people with existing code. Automated tests are important.
