What about stress conditions? Programs usually tend to fail under conditions you didn't think of. (One reason being that the conditions you /did/ think of have been put to the test. Usually.). But working conditions seldom fall into that category.

Actually, you should answer one simple question for yourself: If your life really depended on the system, would you still trust it?
