My last job was like this, a full round of QAs manually testing, along with writing up a grandiose release document, stakeholder approvals, and whatnot, for something that should just take two days of development work, and an insistence on putting configuration values into the database, supposedly because it's "safer" than deploying a new configuration file.

If you are in an environment where deploying a new configuration file is easier than adding data in a pre-existing database, you are in a bad place already.
