Tests aren't a proof for correctness. A failing test proofs either an
error in the implementation or in the test suite. The reverse "all tests
are passing => everything is fine" is not a valid assumption.

Every change must be carefully studied. with open(name) as fp is fine in
almost every case but other cases may not.
