Why bother writing/executing a test whose results will never be used? The distinction between executing a test and reporting the results of a test are important - thanks for reminding me :) Oodles of tests are never reported, I completely agree! |

Why bother writing/executing a test whose results will never be used? I argue the tests are being used, then - because they drive (at least in part) the next thing a person does. |

Why bother writing/executing a test whose results will never be used? "Because I'm being paid to go through the motions" and "To keep from doing something else" are two more general classes of things - thanks! |

Why bother writing/executing a test whose results will never be used? Your suggestions do, however, point to an answer: "Because running the test generates desirable side effects, even though the results of the test on the system under test are ignored". |

Why bother writing/executing a test whose results will never be used? I don't think I would say the thing you suggest I'd say. I don't think I'd claim generating heat or exhausting batteries is a kind of test result. |

Why bother writing/executing a test whose results will never be used? Sounds like people do actually care about those tests then...and maybe are just pretending nonchalance :) |
