Yes, indeed it does, sometimes.kcheung wrote:Does it ever happen that a test suite misses a "showstopper" type of error?
In this very rare case, what we see is a cascade of errors that results in complete collapse of the underlying application. Indeed, that does "stop the show" as far as regression testing is concerned.
Fortunately, that kind of failure is very rare!
