How do you know that the tests don't have bugs?

How is this different from reading the code in a code review, or checking it out on your own machine and reading it there?
- elwell 6y agoYeah, I would argue that in-person code walkthroughs are worse than reviewing someone's code in isolation. Once it's merged in, the author isn't going to be there to explain what the code is doing here and there.
