It seems so obvious to me that your typical engineer, who spent hours / days / whatever working on a feature, is never going to test the edge cases that they didn’t conceive of during implementation. And if they didn’t think of it, I bet they’re not handling it correctly.
Sometimes that’ll get caught in code review, if your reviewer is thinking about the implementation.
