My takeaway from this is high-quality software needs several robust test suites, each written with a different testing methodology.
A presentation from the Opus audio codec developers ( http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/82/slides/codec-4.pdf ) opened my eyes to just how many overlapping approaches you can use. In addition to listing a dizzying array of software tests (similar to the SQLite article), the Opus presentation summarizes the strengths and weaknesses of each approach, which is great for understanding when each approach is appropriate to use.
