I was just thinking of writing an answer to this question, and formulating what points I was going to make. John Bode has written exactly the answer that I wanted to write; so I upvoted this answer instead of supplying my own. But I'd REALLY like to add is that it's important to keep your unit tests in the same source repository as your application code; that way, it's easy to find them and run them as you make changes in your application. The real value of having unit tests is in dealing with changes AFTER the tests are written; not in testing the code at the time that you write it.
