There is this hype of "unit testing" that will solve all your problems, but in reality unit tests can draw all your resources to keep them green and give the false impression that everything is OK. At one point you will blindly trust the green status not realizing that some idiot developer disabled part of the test code to make it green.
Also unit testing does not guarantee quality code. SCRUM and unit tests tend to create the worst code I have seen.Not in the beginning but after a couple of iterations and when you have way too many unit tests to keep working. The tendency is a quick fix.
