You can't ensure correctness by testing. You can only hope to find some of the bugs.

This one in particular doesn't strike me as something that the testers should've caught. It's something that the development process shouldn't have allowed to happen, in the first place.

In my time as CTO in different companies, this would be something testers would have tested, perhaps not at the first release but over time.

Especially if QA does exploratory testing[1] instead of defined test cases (which should be automated away anyway).
