What if there isn't enough time for thorough testing?

Use risk analysis to determine where testing should be focused.
Since it's rarely possible to test every possible aspect of an application, every possible combination of events, every dependency, or everything that could go wrong, risk analysis is appropriate to most software development projects. This requires judgement skills, common sense, and experience. (If warranted, formal methods are also available.)

Considerations can include:

標hich functionality is most important to the project's intended purpose?

標hich functionality is most visible to the user?

標hich functionality has the largest safety impact?

標hich functionality has the largest financial impact on users?

標hich aspects of the application are most important to the customer?

標hich aspects of the application can be tested early in the development cycle?

標hich parts of the code are most complex, and thus most subject to errors?

標hich parts of the application were developed in rush or panic mode?

標hich aspects of similar/related previous projects caused problems?

標hich aspects of similar/related previous projects had large maintenance expenses?

標hich parts of the requirements and design are unclear or poorly thought out?

標hat do the developers think are the highest-risk aspects of the application?

標hat kinds of problems would cause the worst publicity?
 
標hat kinds of problems would cause the most customer service complaints?

標hat kinds of tests could easily cover multiple functionalities?

標hich tests will have the best high-risk-coverage to time-required ratio?
