I've given a lot of time and benefit of the doubt to 'testing replaces static analysis' and not only do I know this is not true, but I'm also pretty sure that testing is fundamentally broken. It can't fix anything because it can't even fix itself.

Maybe a new testing paradigm will fix it, I certainly keep an eye out for them, but nothing so far. Property based testing is better, but mostly it just reminds me that we had Design By Contract 30 years ago.
