Test data as an aid in proving program correctness
1976
Proceedings of the 3rd ACM SIGACT-SIGPLAN symposium on Principles on programming languages - POPL '76
This paper introduces a technique whereby test data can be used in proving program correctness. ...
Proofs of program correctness tend to be long and tedious whereas testing, though useful in detecting errors, usually does not guarantee correctness. ...
A further argument for testing as opposed to proving correctness goes as follows. In proving program correctness, one might forget entirely that an array reference may be out of bounds. ...

Comm. ACM 21 (1978), no. 5, 368-375. ...
The author says that proving a program correct might be hard. Conversely, program testing is easier but, as Dijkstra says, it only detects bugs in programs; it does not ensure their absence. ...

A summary of progress toward proving program correctness
1972
Proceedings of the December 5-7, 1972, fall joint computer conference, part I on - AFIPS '72 (Fall, part I)
Testing can and often does prove a program is incorrect, but no reasonable amount of testing can ever prove that a nontrivial program will be correct over all allowable inputs. ...
It is very much an open question whether automated proof techniques will ever be feasible as a commonly used alter-native to testing a program. ...
In this case it may be worth the additional cost of a proof to obtain an independent evaluation of correctness. ...
