But the A380 entered service 5 years ago, why are they still testing these extreme situations? Perhaps it has something to do with the Trent XWB engine?

My best guess is that the test has something to do with the Trent XWB engine. Edit: XWB has beaten me to it. ;D

That's an old picture I believe? No XWB labels of the A380.

Flicker says:
"This photo was taken on February 19, 2013 using a Canon EOS 50D."
The XWB engine is already certified.
