Tech outage brings massive disruption worldwide including major air carriers to full stop

I'm really curious to see what exactly happened. Because the failure is clearly, a) very obvious, and b) very widespread, it's not like it's a really subtle issue that only affects systems with some unusual configuration, so it's hard to imagine how it couldn't have been picked up in automated QA testing before the update was rolled out. But it's also hard to imagine that no-one involved does that testing. So it'll be revealing to find out how this happened (assuming we ever do).
They've put out a technical update now with some details:

Basically sounds like it was a configuration update that triggered a flaw in the platform. So I'd surmise that the underlying flaw was missed in the platform testing, and they don't routinely test against the configuration updates themselves because those are seen as trivial things that couldn't possibly trigger any flaws in the platform because those would have been caught by testing, wouldn't they.
