Considering I work with one of the most incompetent QA engineers I've ever had the displeasure of encountering, I couldn't agree more. This person wastes my time, and the organization's time, and has not actually increased the quality of software (as far as I can tell). It is a waste of a developer's time to decipher a bug that states "it's broken," without clearly defining "broken," or "it," or how to reproduce the behavior. Often, reproduction involves user error (like forgetting to sign into the vpn). If it weren't for this bozo, our team could get more work done in less time.
I assume that others have had better experiences.
- lurker19 16y agoDo you think that your unpleasant situation is attributable to QA being an unhelpful discipline, or to a particular person performing poorly in their QA role?
- zeemonkee 16y agoSo because one QA guy is bad, the whole profession is bad ? You could say that about any profession, including developers.
- dgabriel 16y agoBad QA is worse than no QA. In my 15 year career, I've seen two decent QA analysts, and they both had extensive technical backgrounds.
