I definitely believe in tests but it’s always an uphill battle to convince resistant devs. Even when the implication of failures for end users could mean death or spending years in a cage.
In businesses, I’ve only seen testing take off when it was properly budgeted for devs who already believed in it, or when the org hired test developer(s). And that was an org that had 100+ “testers” contracted, who’d literally click through the screens and note defects. So automated testing was an obvious cost savings.
