As a software tester, things need to be tested no matter how small. i work for a bank and they did release small changes with no testing but even these can cause major outages so now everything is tested/checked even text changes.

defects (problems) in testing cost £10-£100 per day to fix defects in live can cost £1000's per hour to fix!

if VM did the Big Bang approach and "flicked the switch" and this caused a nationwide outage think of the cost and the chaos this would cause.
