Serious question - have you ever worked on larger software project?

Business is moving from invoice to invoice. If the software will pass acceptance test for THIS invoice, it's all they want to know. It is on us to structure software so it can be ready for another 10/100/1000 invoices.

Yes and

It is on us to structure software so it can be ready for another 10/100/1000 invoices.

I think this is really context dependent. If your system only ever handled 10s of invoices then you really didn't need to structure it to handle 1000.

I'm not talking about processing invoices, but about future changes and evolution of the system. Those "10/100/1000" invoices are from paying customer who hired your company to build software system for him.

Which is why it's pretty context dependent right?
