I'm in complete agreement with Matthew here.

I think testing of entire assemblies would be great. I'm pretty sure 
someone could invent all the appropriate gizmos (FYI, I love gizmos) and 
procedures for these kinds of tests, given a heap of money (FYI, I don't 
hate heaps of money, either).

But what a job. There are so many variables that just designing the test 
procedures would be a brain buster. Be cool, though.
