There is a practice called "bebugging" (not a typo) in which developers deliberately seed the program with known bugs. The presumption is that testers will find them at about the same rate as unknown bugs. When enough have been found, the testing is considered to be adequate. Assuming existing bug rates in the absence of bebugging can be unreliable - but only if you really do have a better way of doing things.
