Testing shows the presence, not the absence, of bugs
"Program testing can be used to show the presence of bugs, but never to show their absence!"
— Edsger W. Dijkstra, 1969
Just because your tests didn’t find any bug doesn’t mean there are no bugs left. You only know that the parts you checked behaved correctly under the specific conditions you tested.
