We don't really...
Well we don't want to release non-tested buggy software... but we used to have to as we had deadlines. Plus the only tests that were carried out was mainly us testing it to the best of our ability and then some half-wit coming looking at it briefly and signing it off, not realising that if it went wrong it would be on their shoulders.

Now that we can do Test Driven Development (It's taken two years to get the platform built to do this) things should be better.

But it still is annoying that we have to follow a system that makes no sense, especially when we could automate it.
