Load testing would have to be quite advanced to find this, doing more than just simulating users for the most common features. It took more than 24 hours of real-world usage to visit sufficiently many niche code paths to fill the code cache. |

I'm not saying it doesn't take effort, I'm just saying it can and is regularly done
Regression testing with speed. If you test your features as they're added, niche-ness doesn't matter - you know about it and test it
A regression test quickly turns into a load test if you do them all at once
To be clear, I'm not trying to twist the knife. I understand why it wouldn't be done. I just won't pretend it can't
I've been trying to avoid this 'hindsight is 20/20' thing...
I'm not trying to lay blame - just offer thoughts towards improvement, and encouragement against some defeatist thinking patterns
A lot can be done with very little equipment/time investment
