I always thought that tests were about malice: "I bet the programmer didn't think of this..." "What happens if I just do this..." "Mmm, I wonder if it covers this corner case?" "Eat pathological data and die!" "Surrender feeble routine. You are no match for the weaponry of my tests!" Then again, I do like having lots of tests. And parameterising tests so that I can feed the same basic test lots of different permutations of the data.
