Actually that's *too* negative, we never let anything out
of ACT, even a wavefront, that has not been fully
regression tested against the ACVC suite, and against the
internal (at this stage VERY substantial ACT regression
suite). Indeed our normal internal procedure for ANY
internal fix, however small, is to run the ACT regression
suite before a checkin to make sure no regressions have
occurred.
Nevertheless, it is quite true that this does not represent
"fully tested", since part of full testing is field testing
at customer sites in a beta test program, which most
certainly does not happen for each wavefront. As for QA,
even a wavefront has been through our internal QA process,
including running the ACVC test suite, our ACT regression
suite, and the DEC test suite. However, once again, the
full QA process most certainly includes beta testing, and
this is only done on formal releases.
