  IMHO someone who hasn't written tests has not done their job properly 
(albeit even if they were forced by powers that be)
</quote>

that comment seems rather close-minded towards the possibilities that may 
have occurred for the developer not to write tests. Tests are highly 
important but there are always circumstances that may hinder someone. I can 
imagine how hard it would be for that developer to accept the apology after 
that quote. 

Just my 2 cents.
