unit tests are important, but even passing all unit tests doesn't mean your program is correct - even if you did think of everything. The whole is more than the sum of its parts. To make an analogy, to find out whether a house you are going to be is structually safe, it isn't sufficient to test each brick, pillar and beam. If you dismantle a safely build house, and use the parts (who each pass their "unit" test) to build a new house, it's still possible for the new house to collapse.
That's the same with software. While a unit test can show a program has defects, it can't show the absence of all defects (and for more fundamental reasons than "not thinking about certain cases").

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
