Where do you draw the lines?
I've worked at places that separated test and production
environments, and to even have your work considered for
production testing it had to be checked by another. It's
generally cheaper to pay for extra employees than to fix costly
problems, or worse, put trojan horses into your system.
And I've had a few doozies - one program should have had an LA
instruction that got keypunched as an LH; the error was
discovered fourteen years later when IBM changed a control block
around so the referenced field wound up on an odd boundary.
