We test a lot of different "one of" cases. We do not do a full freeze on the final because changes are often needed in mid test, as a test engineer finds a bug or needs to modify some behavior on the fly. The mod is often very time critical and would be very hard to handle by having a seperate develope and deploy cycle, especially since much of the test hardware stack is one of as well (at least within our lab's short turn around availability). I do have cases where a fixed solution is re-used without modification again and again, but that is usually compiled code and is handled differently. We have been typically running 8.2 on XP machines so we are just now upgrading to win 7 and LV 12. A block mod makes more sense for our lab systems but it does produce some shocks here and there.
I was wondering why the bahavior changed. I did not notice that it changed when we moved to LV 9/11/12.
