Perhaps a minority opinion, but i LOVE writing tests. I write them before I write the code, it is like playing chess with yourself.

I appreciate that your workflow is so linear. I often write tests, then the implementation, then I realize that the tests need to be corrected, then I change the implementation, then I change the tests, then I add other tests etc... etc...

I don't really like maintaining tests, it's often a lot of code that needs to be understood and changed carefully
