I write unit tests with the goal of exercising every line of
code. While one can argue that that doesn't really test what
the code is supposed to be doing, my experience is that high
coverage percentages strongly correlate with few problems down
the road.
I imagine you haven't seen unit tests written by off-shore

For example, you can have coverage without asserts.
Code review my friend. Nothing gets in without review, and as
