I once worked for a company that had a special unit of people that tested all in-house built applications (and updates) before it was released to the rest of the company, the unit deliberately had a couple of people that were very good at doing the things that cause developers to ask "why would you ever do that or hit that key combination".

If the application release contained enough changes they also required a representative from the related development team to watch as the unit tested it, and I always found that a great learning experience as a developer.
