You can't test every feature in every build - period. No one does that.
You'd never have a release. Everything was ok in the test builds. Things
were rolled up, and the build was made. A typo got in. Shit happens.
Every time you make a build you can't go back and test every last feature,
let alone every combination. Even with automation it just can't be done.
Well, it CAN be - but not if you want to stay in business and release
anything on a realistic time scale. If a feature works and you don't mess
with it, you have to presume it still works in the next. Nothing was
messed with in the code, it was just a human error doing the build.
It would be as ridiculous as those who want us to test the PM-3 with
every modem out there, or even just every Sportster. Not realistic in the
least.
Anyone with development experience understands this.
