That said at my last company after 12 months we hired a few engineers so we had to transition to requiring tests for new functionality. This was just to stop regressions and make sure we could continue moving quickly.
Last company, no tests for the first 6 months. Current company after 2 months, have some unit tests for complicated parts in place, will start writing tests once bugs are resolved.
I guess it really depends on what your company is doing, experience of the team and the language/tech you are using.
Co-founder of HowdyGo here, would love any feedback people might have.
I built HowdyGo because at a former company I founded, we had a small addressable market, high-value leads, and unfortunately very long sales cycles.
Our customers needed time to build trust in the product we offered and that meant it was a necessity to have actual conversations with them, not text chats.
