 		 #96688 - The proof is in the pudding
Responding to: ???'s previous message
"It is a fact that "succesful testing does not prove the abscence of bugs, it only proves the abscence of known bugs", even you, Donald, can not disprove that."

Ah, but can you prove it?

"You can not use "testing" to verify a design, but you can use testing to verify that your implementation of a well thought out design does not have any blatant implementation errors."

So, moving back to my point, how do you verify a design?
