Unit testing *cannot* prove correctness by itself, try this for a thought
experiment:

   - You have a `divide` method.
   - You test it against all possible input: integers, floating points,
   zeros, negative numbers, very big numbers, very small numbers
   - You make sure you have 100% code coverage, that your test is ensuring
   everything works as expected
   - You expose this method as part of your API

Then

   - Someone calls it, passing a String as an argument
