It depends on what you mean by 'comprehensive'. Are every single possible inputs for + tested (all ~(10^12*999)^2 of them)? Well, no.... for some strange reasons...
Are all functions tested? Normally yes, but we are humans and stuff can be missed.

Agreed Cyrille but selling machines that cannot be flashed on 21st century such as the 35s tells us something about the desire to deliver quality vs cheap off shore development to the detriment of the brand.
