Correction: the plurality.
However, bear in mind that those who say "what is it?" may very well be doing it without knowing its 'official' name.
The majority, per the survey at this time, do, at least some.

Well actually, the people that voted "what is unit testing?" probably aren't doing it either.

Has anyone else noticed what the number of this survey is?

How appropriate for the subject.

Look up my post in the lounge. I'm not sure whether the people who post the survey realized the surveyID before my post, but the survey subject is definitely tweaked to suit the ID.

Being that I never unit test, I am actually surprised at the numbers of those who do unit test.

Best answer yet, I've heard alot about unit testing but never met anybody who does it.

It kind of surprised me too! It turned out that I was occasionally doing unit testing when I thought it was needed over the years, even before I knew what it was. Of course when I started programming (DOS days), I knew what every single line of code did.

Very well, thank you.
Do you actually find some time to sleep, while writting all those test?

By writing good clean wholesome code that works.

Unit testing doesn't really do much at that level. Unit tests are designed to test the low level code, so you can build higher level functions with confidence.
I think whoever came up with the survey question doesn't really understand unit testing!

Sorry - that was poorly worded, wasn't it. I really should have used "fundamental" instead of "main" and split it into "fundamental" and "top level".
My bad.

We unit test components of services and other backend stuff. Running the unit test ten times a day is far more comfortable than clicking through a user interface.
