Right or wrong, docs and tests are often given the lowest priority. Everything is good in moderation: you want some docs (especially for external APIs), some tests (integration > unit in many cases), but don't go overboard. You don't need 1000 unit tests for a little CRUD app. Documentation is subject to drift. For internal APIs, you're better off looking at the code.
