Working as a test automation engineer, I'm not surprised at all. There is small to no investment in testing in most companies because it's just considered a cost. I cannot count the times where I asked for better servers for testing, put more time and people in creating a better testing infrastructure, but the answers was always "we will do it! We definitely need to get better at testing!". Still waiting for any action. Most of managers I met just want to meet the deadline they set and ask: "can't you test it in another way? How is possible that it takes so much time?". They don't give a damn about testing, they just want a pat on the shoulder that everything is fine and give the responsibility to someone else if something goes wrong.

We should run some trials —“ Manager: “We definitely need to test more often! But I already agreed to have it out by next Tuesday, so maybe we can just release it and aim for more testing next time.”
