The Importance of Unit Testing

The importance of unit testing during a program dev is beginning to ring true! Not that I really ever doubted it, I just never truly considered it. I have always "unit tested" (as we all do while producing code-- compiling, editing source, etc) but I have never until last night made it a priority. I'll admit, it is probably too late to officially begin this method for "Sith Realms 21" as this particular program is almost complete, but this very foray into proper unit testing, that is, writing actual logic tests and documenting their results helped me to solve (it seems at this point at least) some serious logic errors that prevented the clearing of an important milestone towards completion. I have adopted this technique and plan to use it from this point forward.
