Actual Code, Imaginary Unit Tests

Description

The image is a comic-style two-column comparison labeled "ACTUAL CODE" on the left and "UNIT TESTS" on the right. The left panel shows a tall editor-like area filled with colored horizontal bars representing many lines of source code, while the right panel is an equally large empty gray box. A watermark at the bottom reads "@THEJENKINSCOMIC" and there is also a partial "t.me/dev_meme" mark. The technical humor is the all-too-common imbalance between production code and the nonexistent tests that are supposed to protect it.

The question is, where are unit tests for unit tests?

  Unit test should represent simple operation which is not needed to be tested (Короче говоря если вы считаете что юнит тесты нуждаются в тестах, то вы не понимаете смысл юнит тестов (с) какая то статья на хабре)
