serious manual/semi-automated testing (of most functionalities, on the
3 major platforms, using multiple type/versions of QGIS and endpoints,
etc.) is a full time job, I know because  I was lucky enough to have
done it for a year and half. Without this type of effort we will
always rely on reports sent in by people that find issues here and
there while doing their normal workflow, which is ok but also has a
good chance of not finding a number of serious bugs.

cheers!
