@Trokey66 Exactly. Even with a compact business system, you can't test every single possible combination of stuff that'll hit it or flow through it. There are automated tools that greatly help but even then most testing has to be risk-based (i.e., check the most important or highest-risk or most mission-critical features and then work backward until you run out of time). I'm not really sure how it works for AAA games...except "not well." Not nowadays anyway. Look at some of the horrendous bugs games like CP2077, Fallout 76, BF2042, COD Vanguard, etc. have been released with in the past 14 months. Glaringly obvious, borderline-gamebreaking stuff.
@AOD_moose004 Remember where I read the example, it was used during a 'really interesting' Engineering Safe Products course, basically a risk assessor's course in a segment about software and what you say is spot on although it's not just time, its money too.
