You can't, I was being facetious. Since the OP writes software, I knew
he'd understand.

However, he also understands that only a very, very naive customer
believes that the tests you show them ensures that the software is
written correctly against the requirements.

Software development is still progressing, albeit glacially, but we have
a long ways to go. As long as the s/w community insists on using
substandard tools such as C++ and such, things will progress slowly.

Now you've really really got my interest.

Substandard?

What is standard? I really do want to improve on C++, but I haven't
seen anything better.

Please don't say Ada.

Ada is better from a reliability and correctness perspective. So is
Java. However, I think that longer term model-based development tools
show the greatest promise.
