And you test the tests and so forth.



It is tests and verifications all the way down!

No matter how careful you are adding automated tests and test to verify those tests have run OK, and making them fail safe (fail with a warning in this case) where possible, it will always soon get to a point that there needs to be a manual “have we seen the everything is OK message recently?” or similar is by far more efficient than adding another tests to send a warning when the last layer of tests has failed.
