Afraid to checkin the code

Since last week I have been working on improvements in a login feature.
I have crashed this feature so many times in the past one month , now I am scared to make any further changes.

I realise that management has a very high level of intolerance for crash in software. They are ok if you deliver one line of code with 20 bugs. But 200 lines of quality code with 2 crashes will make them shiver.

I think learning functional testing is more important and more difficult than learning to code.
If I can write very good functional tests I would never be scared that my code is not working.
This is the next level of programming that I want to achieve now.
I have seen this level in senior programmers of Avaya, for every feature they write they create automation tests which ensure that their feature works as expected.
