I think what he means is that just because you have tests (and even if you have high code coverage) doesn't meant that your code is high quality. They're correlated, but I've actually seen code with high test coverage... whose tests never made any assertions.

Yes, if they're correlated, that contradicts the absolutist statement of "Tests have nothing to do with code quality."

Trying to improve code correctness is directly affecting code quality.
