I don't have a lot of faith in huge automated test efforts.  They're
great at ensuring you don't make the same mistakes you made once before,
but in my experience the nastiest bugs are the ones you haven't seen
before and would never in a million years have dreamed to test for.
Thus, the best test team is a bunch of people doing unplanned things
with the software, on a wide variety of platforms...
