So, Boeing want to replace testing with analysis. That might work, but I'd be hard pressed to trust Boeing to maintain a design and analysis engineering staff of any experience level between new product release events. When I was there, engineering staffing cycled up and down pretty drastically between new model launches. And there was never any overhead funds available to keep skills and tools current in the interim.
