When I was wearing a working hat, I was developing flight critical avionics, fuel management and cockpit instrumentation.
The development process was rigorous to say the least. Then there was a separate verification organization that validated all our work. Next there was the qualification process where the product was tested, zapped, frozen, cooked, and vibrated, sometimes several of those at once. Finally, we submitted all the results to the FAA for review and approval before the product could be put into service. Guess what? There were still glitches that slipped through at times!
Bottom line? I'm pretty sure there will be some warts on this one when it's released!
