I became a programmer so that I could spend time creating software by programming. I don’t want to waste my time managing low-quality code.
Does your code work the first time your test it out? Mine certainly never does. So if I hand over the code to someone else, I’m sure to get a bug report back that will take up my valuable programming time. This much is obvious to most developers. However, it also means that I don’t want to have to go thought a long manual test myself to verify my code.

I agree. jUnit test cases a life blood of my programs now. I write hundreds of test cases for everything and run them frequently. The feedback you get all your tests pass after you've been changing the code is invaluable. Ecplise also makes it so easy to write test cases and execute them, its the best thing ever.
