Tests cannot prove that code is bug free. It is simple

They definitely help, but not that much
Wow, where do you people come from with such a low opinion of testing?
They don't help much? Then I argue you're not writing the right
tests! Tests are a completely different level than compilation.
Compilation asserts proper syntax. Tests assert what you tell them
to assert. Here's an exercise for you all to try... next time a bug
is discovered in your system, write a test that shows that bug by
asserting the expected behavior that did not occur properly. Now go
fix the bug, and re-run the test. It now passes. That same bug will
not occur again provided you use your tests and keep them always
passing.
