I think we can infer that it clearly did not go through any meaningful QA.
It is very possible for there to be edge-case configurations that get bricked regardless of how much QA was done. Yes, that happens.
That's not what happened here. They bricked a huge portion of internet connected windows machines. If not a single one of those machines was represented in their QA test bank, then either their QA is completely useless, or they ignored the results of QA which is even worse.
There is no possible interpretation here that doesn't make Crowdstrike look completely incompetent.
