I’ve seen this happen too. It’s sort of a double edged sword - devs need to take testing seriously and have coverage metrics. However, this doesn’t negate the need for QA particularly in software that has a human experience associated with it. Writing code and having it work correctly doesn’t mean that the user experience itself will be correct. For whatever reason, executives don’t understand this and software gets shipped with more bugs than ever because there’s little to no QA.
Yeah. We wrote unit tests and integration tests, but we needed ui tests, which none of us were strong in at the time. One bug I remember fondly, it was possible to abuse denounce basically to submit bad info by switching an input after hitting submit. This happened more than you would expect. Took us forever to figure it out till we were able to get a UI tester from another team to figure it out. The human element is super useful in testing
