#91694 - one more reason not to rely on testing
Responding to: ???'s previous message
If you don't, there's a 1 in 65536 chance that the timer will stop on the compare value that causes an interrupt.

Let's just say it causes a lot of interrupts when that happens ;-)


One more reason not to rely on testing, catching that one in, say, testing 100 times is one chance in 65

No, I am not saying "do not test your product", of course not, what I am saying is do not let a piece of code go with the thought "if something is wrong, it will come out in the test"
