That approach Works well with Q&A too.
- wolf550e 10y agoSecurity engineers are seen as experts you consult about something you don't know. QA are not seen this way. Some QA engineers actually are experts that can give good advice on structuring an application in a more testable way, but that's not the norm.
- tracker1 10y agoMost QA guys only check that something meets the spec/story requirements, not that the code is sane or testable... many don't even go beyond UI testing. That said, I think GP was referring to having a QA embedded as part of a team.
- andersonmvd 10y agoYou're talking about Squads basically. Bring different people in the same group. And yeah, QA is very similar to Security in some points, but if you think straight QA should include security. Weird to say that a software has quality without security included, but the truth is that security is specific that the regular QA usually can't handle.
- rexpop 10y agoYou've capitalized Squad, but it's hard to Google. Where did you get that term, and where is it defined outside your head?
- xxr 10y agoNot the commenter you're replying to, but at least at my organization we borrow the term from Spotify.
- bananarepdev 10y agoAs xxr said, Squad is how Spotify names their (previously Scrum) teams. Other interesting concepts they use are "Tribes" and "Guilds". Take a look at the Spotify engineering practices, they are really inspiring.
