I am retired now, but was an IT guy in my professional life.

When I was a project manager, the QA lead would always prepare a test plan based on the design documents. After that "planned" testing was complete, I would always turn the QA team loose for a few weeks with instructions to "try to break it". Most of the time they could, as this got them into functional spaces not clearly defined or limited by the design but enabled by the design. We then fixed those issues before going live.

It was always a value-adding step before deploying the (revised) finished product.

Additionally, the concept of bringing in OUTSIDE testers is a good one. THey have not been part of the development process and approach the platform thinking "what can this do" rather than "does this do what it is supposed to do per the design".
