As you get to the end of the project you want to run all the tests cases against one version and make sure that you know that that version passed everything. And so as you get late in the project you get a little more conservative about making radical changes to the software.

Computers are great because when you're working with them you get immediate results that let you know if your program works. It's feedback you don't get from many other things.
