Yeah, it is. The problem is that programmers don't know how to test and the tests they write don't cover every situation they should. They usually end up writing certain tests to satisfy specific "success" cases of a piece of code. Doe they cover the edge cases? Nope. Do they cover situations where code should throw an exception? Nope. Do they test various points in a range of values and data that should work? Nope. One test case and it's good.

Another problem with tests is that you can end up writing a sh*t-ton more code for the tests than the code your writing and time is money.
