Exactly my thought!

Even tho I don't practice TDD (test before coding) I really value tests 
as
maintainer in the sens that they help moving forward in serenity and as 
a
code reader for instance in 8sync, they are narrow examples of how 
things
works which help to understand the overall program.

Happy hacking!
