Tests are just booby traps for the other engineers so they don't break your code by mistake.
Its funny cause its true. I often design tests to be "if a case/enum value is added this test will explode and tell them to add code here"
This is why I like strong type systems with exhaustivity checks
Saaaaame. But sometimes even strongly typed stuff wont break on compilation time
'spose that's true enough
