A rather off-topic and perhaps naive question, but isn't a 1:4 production/test ratio a bit too much ? Is there a guesstimate of what percentage of this test code tests for things that you would get for free in a statically typed language ? I'm just curious whether this argument against dynamic typing - that you end up doing the job of a static compiler in test code - holds in practice.
