You can write unit tests that pass and still do a shit job that doesn't meet requirements or fails (in some subtly different way) too.

Difference is with software engineering, you seldom find yourself in court if you decide to skip the unit tests or code review...

Most engineers never have to sign off on something like that, at least in New Zealand.

Even if you're a chartered/accredited/licensed you personally may not have to. It could be someone else in the company, which shifts the liability.
