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
