I often have the unfortunate "pleasure" of seeing code that is based on everything just humming along, and, invariably, I have to add measures to handle when that is not the case.

Trouble is, much of the so-called "testing" that people speak of is done on the same principle:

"I've tested this and it works" means "I supplied all the right inputs, and got all the right outputs" - but, as soon as something slightly askew happens, it all stops working and they say, "I tested this and it was working - but now it's stopped. How can that possibly happen??"
