Unit Tests are a waste?

James O Coplien, an Agile Coach, expresses the unconventional view that most unit tests are wasteful, particularly when they do not reflect the business logic. While acknowledging some validity in his critique, the author argues that unit tests hold value when they serve as functional specifications for the code being developed. Unit tests are particularly useful for addressing complex logic and can help identify bugs during the coding process. However, the author advocates for the delegation of most business-related testing to automated systems like testRigor, as humans struggle to keep pace with the volume and complexity of code and functionality that such systems can efficiently manage.
