Eliminate potential bugs in the program earlier in the process. I.e to avoid programming by coincidence

Until humans come up with a better way of building software, something like TDD seems to be the best way to build correct software.

Keep in mind though that tests are also software built by humans that can be wrong too, sometimes giving you false confidence about correctness.

The best test of a system is always real-world usage.
