Audio engineers make mistakes, too. I've heard it happen.
If the mistake happens in a live concert, you can't rewind and fix the
parts of the concert that were affected. When producing a record, you
get to try multiple times to get it right.
However, a record and a computer program are different in nature. A
music track runs from the beginning to the end. When you've done, you
know that your customers will also hear the sounds in the same sequence.
Computer programs, on the other hand, don't run the instructions in a
single predefined sequence. Instead, the program behaves differently
depending on data and user event input. There's no way to test with
every possible input combination.
That's why doing quality assurance on a record and on a computer program
is different.
