 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.
