Having loads of auto-run unit test that test a LOT smaller chunks of code 
than one big document does is infinitely more valuable.

For loads of reasons, really.
One quick example is that I refactored the lists data structure recently 
and I had a memory access problem. Using valgrind on a unit test and one 
or two classes instead of the full app shows the effect of this lot 
smaller unit very well. It means that valgrind shows more to-the-point 
results faster.

I applaud the efforts done in kspread :)
