Now I can't live without it, and I agree with you, it does improve the programming skills, because when you write code that has to be tested (or, actually, is already being tested), you end up thinking harder on good patterns and architecture. Bad code yields bad or impossible tests Another great thing about testing is how easier it becomes to refactor the code, which also means better programming.
