Pragmatically speaking, code should be tested such that if either:
 - some precondition it has is changed (either elsewhere in the same
code base or in the behaviour of some other code base) that we find
out
 - if someone changes the code itself and breaks an existing use case,
we find out.

Exactly what that means may be different for different routines :).

My general rule is to start with testing each entry and exit path and
any domain or range corner cases.
