- dewiz 10y agoQA is disappearing in MS, replaced by a couple of buzzwords: "cross functional" and "DevOps". i.e. noone has a clue about what they are accountable for, and individual teams come up with their definitions of done.

- ry_ry 10y agoLast time I checked I was able to remotely bluescreen mt windows 10 box at home by trying to pair Bluetooth headphones with it. Asus dongle with WHQL drivers. Despite being amusing to drive-by my wife whilst she was watching cat videos on Facebook, it did make me acutely aware that testing every conceivable hardware combo is a big ask, even for MS. Still, this seems like something they absolutely should have picked up with even rudimentary QA - millions of users represents a non-trivial profile, and they would surely have been aware of the update. I'd assume the Skype QA cycle is focused on new releases of their own codebase rather than an ongoing maintenance cycle? The take-away here is MS need to internally flag potentially breaking changes more thoroughly.
