"Tests I find are a bare minimum and are not even sufficient in more cases than people realize. It’s a shame though that even this low bar is too much for some."
That's in part because some really bad hipster devs decided they knew better and nixed integration testing...
"Tests" usually means "happy path and/or unit", which nearly always is that ultra low bar.
The amount of testing required to truly validate something of reasonable complexity is so staggeringly high, if your tests run in under an hour you probably didn't test it, or you are building something really, really simple.
True testing is about covering the combinatorial explosion, and that's assuming your problem space is decidable.
