I couldn't agree more! We actually have a unit testing system in Mixxx..
the code is in src/test/. You just compile with "scons test=1" to build it.

The only problem is... nobody writes tests! :) I've been thinking about
doing something mean like require comprehensive tests for every feature
branch that is merged. The time I waste hunting down regressions is huge.
