Unit tests are not meant to find bugs, they are meant to keep it together as you add features and refactor the system.

They are also completely orthogonal to patterns and layers and aspects and J2EE and what not. All that has nothing to do with tests at all.

I think it can be related in a certain type of poor team that cargo cults strict rules and patterns and mechanistically writes tests for every little getter and setter of all the useless layers of useless glue classes whose real purpose is to mask their lack of understanding.
