Re^2: Testing my tests

So it would almost seem as though you'd need to actually write tests against your tests.

Won't he then need some tests to test the tests he uses to test his tests?

I've just always felt that if I have 100% coverage of each sub, I must be testing the return value. To boot, I always overlap tests so that it's often not just one test file that uses the return of a sub, so that if I break that return, I may end up with broken tests in several places, if not just several tests within a single file.
