From experience, unitests are various return depending on the
code. Some code is easily testable and the ROI is high, some code
is just hard to automatically test.
On the code that is unittest compliant, I notice a very low
number of bugs (actually close to 0 defect) when I do proper
unittesting. Sadly, all code isn't like that.
