I agree this seems reasonable and sane.

However there are types of programs which aren't well covered by a test (demo) or set there of.

Sometimes the program is being written to learn a value which is unknown, or for which a simplified example having success insufficiently tests the validity or scalability of the software.

Tests in those cases may work at a unit level, but still provide insufficient insight in to the soundness of the overall results.
