"Testing is useless and waste of time. We are testing the websites manually, this has to be enough."
On the other hand, I am not a fan of unit tests etc. in web environments either, yet I am always recommending them to the boss. -
meshbag288yAs the only SAP developer I really don't have time, its not that I don't want to but that it's hard to justify

sgoten708y@k0pernikus probably what he mean was that he don't have time ( on job hours) to stop to learn how to test. is a snowball

meshbag288yWell written tests take time! Time that I do not have.
Believe me, I wish I could.
I understand the importance of automated tests but I don't work at a software company so it is very hard to justify, especially when it means delays to other improvements.

What's the most inane excuse you heard for either a developer or management to not write tests?
I have endured these:
Management:
1) The project is fire and forget. It won't need tests.
2) It's a prototype. It won't go live.
3) Writing tests takes longer than without writing tests. You know how to code, don't you?
Developer:
1) I didn't have the time.
2) It was such a trivial method.
3) It's not mockable.
