 +  * Testing scientific software is highly important,\\ as it has direct impact on scientific insight.
 +  * Most scientific software is not thoroughly tested\\ or even not tested at all.
 +  * Tests can only prove the existence of bugs, not their absence.
 +  * Testing should be done as early as possible, as often as possible,\\ and as automatic as possible.
 +  * Test automatisation has dramatic impact on the design\\ of the code to be tested (e.g., modularity).
 +  * Test-driven development turns the usual sequence upside down\\ and results in high test coverage.
 +  * High test coverage by automatic tests increases the trust in software.
 +  * Test-driven development leads to tests\\ that document the code and its specifications.
