Once you have the Freedom to Design as you wish without bending over (or better worded, without turning inside out) to make it testable, You will stop DFT. Did you know that the number 1 reason that many developers stop writing unit tests is that they don't what to change the design. Did you know that they feel restricted that they HAVE to design using IoC, even if they didn't really need it. Sure, you *must* test your code. But you don't have to DFT in order to do it. Mawi,

Sure, you *must* test your code.
But you don’t have to DFT in order to do it.

A softer and more sensible stance, it seems, as opposed to the (silly) "stop DFT!" demonstration call. You write "if you didn't have to test". What code don't you have to test - at all, in any form? I have *never* written any code that I did not have to test - whether it be *manually* using a console app, or a quick coded test that I can reuse. Eli,
