I agree, both on the testing and your predilection to do strange things. Unfortunately, the 100% goal is almost impossible to reach on complex systems, because the number of test cases is almost infinite.

The other problem is that we don't have a regression test platform for calibre. All of the template problems you have found actually did work at one point. The errors were introduced later, in these cases when fixing bugs or adding features in related areas. With the resources we have, it is more efficient to recruit users to help with the testing then to spend weeks trying (and failing) to do it ourselves.
