Good example.
Code used in Firefox and Thunderbird have quite a bit of automated
testing. See <http://quality.mozilla.org/teams/automation/>.
Thanks for the reassurance; this was not surprising but it's good to
have confirmation.
This tangent originated from the complaint that you're not aware
changes before a release is final and someone mentioned that users
are invited to participate in pre-release testing. That does not
equal relying solely on human volunteers not familiar with testing.
It just means that if you want to what changes are made, one way of
finding out is to try a pre-release.
That's a fair point, but pre-releases can sometimes entail unknown
risks. I happen to be relatively risk-averse in this area, so I probably
won't go this route. I know others enjoy it, and I encourage them to
continue their valuable contributions.
And of course, that's not to say installing a pre-release is the only
way to find out what changes are coming.
I was informed elsewhere in this thread of places where I can learn of
changes before they are carved in stone.
