Yes, but let's be careful with the labels. This is not what we call "production testing" but more like design, implementation, or regression testing. (They all overlap to some extent, of course.) "Production testing" is focused on the production process and tries to find flaws there. Its role is not to identify design flaws or bugs in the code. It can help with these tasks as well (and I agree that we should use it for that purpose), but they're secondary goals. I'm pointing this out because there have already been misunderstandings when we talked about tests, and people thought those tests were something we'd want to run at the factory. > We need to replace DM1 / DM2 with something more normal otherwise it > will haunt us forever, I will write about some ideas to start that soon. Oh yes, DM1/DM2, our pit of shame :-( Looking forward to read your ideas. - Werner
