It's truly test driven development .. There is no way to guarantee a program to be bug free (Turing). Even if all your code is executed by tests, it is still not executed with all possible conditions. It seems I should want to write code that satisfies the testing requirement but I am not always sure that I would feel the most confident that it covers all cases and I can't always test all cases ..
