to Test or not to Test

I've been recently wondering wether to use SimpleTest or not... so I
thought to ask what does people do. As I'm learning programing always
by myself I don't know how others work... but it seems to me that
using cake test for normal little applications is a pain in the ass as
for the amount of coding needed. Also to test if a function is
returning correctly the format of an amount in EUR as in one of the
cookbook examples it seems to me stupid, as when I code a method like
that I try to make shure it gives back the expected result and if it
ever brakes is because I had given an invalid value or something
similar...

But I can be totally wrong as I had seen a video of mark encoraging to
use testing.

So my question would be wether people use it or not and if people use
it only for big app or even for small ones.

thanks!
