How programmers make sure that their software is correct

Later on there is a mention of fuzzing. However, there is something better called property tests. Where the on failure there is automatic "shrinking" of input complexity to find a minimally failing test scenario.
For Erlang and Elixir I recommend https://propertesting.com/ book and the PropEr test framework https://github.com/proper-testing/proper.
As an example, here is the use of an advanced feature called targeted property based testing: https://proper-testing.github.io/tutorials/PropEr_testing_wi... used to test a labyrinth.
