This is where fast internet speeds and "era of updates" has brought us. Devs don't have to test, because they know they can patch something if it's broken. But back in days when games were mostly sold on CDs or DVDs, there was no way to patch something. So devs had to make sure game works 100% and had to actually hire testers who play through the game before the launch. It would have been a total disaster if they release a game, make millions of DVDs and realize it doesn't work. Nowday devs don't have to worry about any of this .. they can release broken game and just let players be their FREE testers!
All in all, I think Frontier are one of the best devs. They reply to support tickets and generally know what they're talking about. Their updates are usually also very detailed and have lot of stuff in them, it shows they are actually working and not sitting on donuts.
