The absolute worst testers you can possibly have are developers. They’re better than nothing. But barely. Even a mediocre tester will make your application better, and by proxy, encourage you to become a better developer. The very best testers will drag you, kicking and screaming if necessary, across the bug-bar threshold. Professional testers force you to become a better developer. Sometimes it’s painful. But in a good way, like a heavy workout.
Oh yes. Uff. I have seen so many “in your eyes” non-sense non-logic “features” (bugs) that developers would try to somehow protect by excuses like “that’s what I was asked to do” that it’s not even funny …
We currently have a QA team in another office, but next month I am getting my own first QA engineer. Excited! In the meantime, reading up on the subject. :)
