yes yes yes and yes again
we're not obsessed about code coverage
- but get disappointed when it falls below about 75%
We've a code based which is a mixture of javascript MVC (Backbone) and PHP (Zend)
A healthy attitude to unit testing and dev-ops has saved our back more times than I care to mention.
Also - it's a very useful way to "train" new developers. Spending 2-3 weeks writing tests is a great way to get a feel for
a) the code
b) house style
where new developers can be immediately productive - without risking touching production code on day 1
