Can it if we stop defining "robust tests" as "a lot of test code lines" and "good documentation" as "lengthy documentation"?

I chose my words carefully. "Robust tests" are tests that provide high coverage and aren't flaky. "Thorough documentation" likewise is documentation that describes as much of the code as possible.

I didn't use the word good.
