Which is often enough to ensure the code is testable.
Generally, I'll write some tests sort of alongside, or soon after (like, a couple hours or a day) to not lose the initial thought process. Going back to code days/weeks later and trying to 'test' it when it wasn't conceived of as testable is tough.
