Yes, that is right. So here's my disclaimer: I'm the author of rqlite.

I really admire the testing that the SQLite team does[1], and the way it allows them to stand behind the statements they make about quality. It's inspiring.

IMO there have only been two really big improvements to software development relative to when I started programming professionally 25 years ago: 1) code reviews becoming mainstream, and 2) unit testing. (Perhaps Gen AI will be the third). I believe extensive testing is the only reason that rqlite continues to be developed to this day. It's not just that it helps keep the quality high, it's a key design guide. If a new module cannot be unit tested during development, in a straightforward manner, it's a strong sign one's decomposition of the problem is wrong.
