Rule 96: "Experience may be fine, but testing is better. Knowing something will work never takes the place of proving that it will."
my motto: "It's only as good as it has been tested to be"
I'm constantly reminded of this, most recently when I noticed my local Fire Dept doing checks on their specialty (gas powered) chainsaw tool every tuesday around 7:45am as I drive by on my commute.
Admittedly, I don't work on flight or science related things, but testing here means taking relatively cursory look at things so that you can check off items on a list. It's extremely happy-path focused.
