Well you've taken it out of context :-) It would make more sense if you mention the need for tests
Testing can show the presense of bugs, but not their absence. -- Edsger Dijkstr
Indeed, although that is really just a truism. If this were a philosophy channel and I had actually studied it properly, I would go on about evidence of absence at this point.
From a s/w POV, there is always one more bug.
