Very good questions - in ten years no one has asked this. Working in the industries for 6 years as freelancer on various projects/companies, only one pattern has kept true and keeps emerging: Testing isn't standard, its the exception. At least in C++ Land.
Its nice to have all the testcases, but most companies don't cover their applications with tests. In fact, I haven't seen a single company using tests with C++ in their application in 6 years. Some of them do test, but not in codelevel. No unittests or anything like it.
Pretty sad state of affairs that. I always find bugs in my code through "carpet-bomb" testing, generally in other folks code as well, just saying... John.
