But what do you consider a short-cut? How much testing is enough? Doesn't the situation dictate what is enough and what is really a short-cut? What needs to be tested at a startup IS NOT the same as what should be tested inside a large corporation.
And what "risk" are you referring to? As I've stated, I decided to side with "more features" than "100% test coverage". Sure there is "risk" that there are bugs, but a) there are bugs regardless of how much testing you do and b) I've decided I'd lose users because I don't have features that stand out above the competition rather than because a minority of those features have minor bugs. So to me, the bigger risk is not developing more features.
