LOL. not until February. I don't know if that is the reason. There are lots of reasons something can break. It is just the most likely. I can only hope that if I keep saying it enough someone will get it in there head that testing is important or someone will get fired and someone that can put proper testing procedures can get put in there place. If anything is going to sink shapeways it is likely going to be there lack of testing.
Not testing results:
*unhappy customers
*loss in sales because people can't do what they need
*reduced security - if you are not testing you open your self up to all kinds of attacks that can take advantage of the broken code
*loss of trust - how can I trust shapeways to keep my private stuff safe, actually pay me for sales made, ect when tomorow they could upload a bunch of new code that allows everyone to download my model stl files, add a bug that stops recording sales, shows people my printing costs/markup
*litigation - some bugs like not showing units of measurmnet properly, showing one price then changing once added to cart, ect could cause shapeways to get sued.
And I am sure there are many more I can't think of. If things keep going the way they have over the last month the shapeways programers are going to kill shapeways. Safe guards against these mistakes must be put in place NOW and failure to fallow these safe guards should mean termination.
