Doesn't matter what testing exists. More scale. More complexity. More Bugs.

Its like building a gigantic factory farm. And then realizing that environment itself is the birthing chamber and breeding ground of superbugs with the capacity to wipe out everything.

I used to work at a global response center for big tech once upon a time. We would get hundreds of issues, we couldn't replicate cause we literally have to set up our own govt or airline or bank or telco to test certain things.

So I used to joke with the corporate robots to just hurry up and take over govts, airlines, banks and telcos already, cause thats the only path to better control.

Testing + a careful incremental rollout in stages is the solution. Don't patch all systems world-wide at once, start with a few, add a few more, etc. Choose them randomly.
