Yesterday Microsoft started introducing Visual Studio 2010 to Windows
developers with a
press release and a
MSDN website. Introductions to the next Visual Studio also popped
up on various technology news sites; InformationWeek,
ChannelWeb, Microsoft
Watch, BetaNews,
and Ars
Technica each have brief summary and explaination of the
information Microsoft has released so far. Only NetworkWorld
digs into the subject by asking various developers to give their
impressions of the new Visual Studio.

I agree... nothing is more useful (for lower layer software,to be sure) than a set of great assertions so that the debug builds of the code test themselves to the greatest extent possible. And of course a set of unit tests to drive the system through at least the mainstream cases.

That's true, but such tools can go a long way towards making software more robust. If you take that approach, do you not bother with unit tests? After all, the testing department will catch the bugs anyway.
Unit testing should always be done by the developer IMO. Most software practices follow that rule now.

No automated piece of software will ever capture as much useful information as a good QA department.
