From published data, it certainly appears that testing to destruction was not done. That is inconceivable; Boeing certainly would have done that, if only to know what solutions were available to conform to the regs. If there was fire...
That was Boeing's position, initially, that the battery performed as designed.
If they hadn't done the testing to arrive at a default solution to failure that did conform, they would not have pleaded to FAA: "give us instructions on a fix..."
Which suggests they don't have one, ergo, they did not test the system to failure that did not comply.
Scary
