I know for sure. Writing complex test cases for my UNO API implementations usually takes the same time than the implementation took, or even more. Usually, but not always, I think it's worth it :) Okay, so let me make this more explicit: I see a ... remote possibility that our *tooling* for writing tests - namely the testtool - has strong usability deficiencies, and thus costs too much time for fighting the testtool/infrastructure, which could be better spent in the actual test. I might be wrong on that, since I seldom come in touch with testtool. But whenever I do, I feel it hard to believe we live in the 21st century ...
