Explain to me how testing the application in the way a user would use it or Break it doesn't ensure product quality
-
BlueSky7115y@don-rager Yes. I agree you need to do that.
But at the same time a clueless QA who doesn't know how to simulate the edge cases would not help much in detecting those bugs which are hidden during normal usage.
Those bugs usually blow up when something bad happens somewhere.
Also how those helpless mornons detect that the client side is polling server more than required and also the server sends more data than the client is supposed to have.
All these matters to the quality of the product. It may not be very evident though. -
BlueSky7115yI also believe it has to do with the people who haven't seen how quality software is developed.
Anybody who writes code will be just a coder. It takes real knowledge to become an Software 'Engineer' . -
BlueSky7115yA bunch coders and moron QAs cannot scale. You need software engineers. I am not talking about the educational qualification. I mean the right mindset who doesn't think QA is a low skilled job.

I hate those morons who do QA by simply clicking around. You are a disgrace to people like me who like to code and still enjoy doing testing.
Get a life you fuckers. You are the sole reason why many people in industry thinks that QA is something anybody can do.
Yes, I agree you can test the application, but in no way you could ensure the quality of the product.
