Hi Cedric, But we are not talking just a bug, you are talking about a total application roll-back, a kind of a Panic Button where the bug is of a magnitude that it forces you to use a roll-back button. Are we not?
It begs the question, should you have that release in your production PC in the first place? or should it have been stress tested on a Non-production machine first?. On your other point, one does not needs dozens of testers to test an application. Depending on the technology used by the application there are automatic tools to do that.
