Sort of a devils advocate question. If you write and review your tests and the functional and non functional requirements
and the human tests for usability pass, why does the code matter?
Non functional requirements: performance, security, reliability, logging etc?
- catgary 7mo agoBecause the code is the actual thing, tests can only show that the code fails in certain cases, they don’t actually prove the code is correct.
- raw_anon_1111 7mo agoIf you are writing the correct tests that mirror the requirements, why wouldn’t passing tests mean the code is correct?

- catgary 7mo agoBecause it doesn’t? Thats why the field of formal methods exists.
- raw_anon_1111 7mo agoThen that sounds like you aren’t writing good tests…
