You don't have to test each combination of feature toggles. You mostly need to test the combination(s) that you intended to use when the code under test is released. Generally this is just one or two combinations.

@bdsl true, if you never toggle a feature, but this would be the same as commenting out code. There would be no purpose to the toggle.

Feature toggles look a little loose (ie, easy to forget about and accidentally release the wrong version).

@danwoz: only when used in an non-systematic way, or when applied wrong.

@Ewan: the same argument you gave against feature toggles could be applied to any (regular) configuration option in an application. And just because an application allows lot of configuration options, it does not become "untestable".
