I wonder if Google's QA is getting worse. I had a broken Android Google Maps update last week where street view had multiple severe bugs: it didn't even show the blue lines when enabling the street view layer, split screen didn't show the marker for the virtual observer's location, and tapping in the map in split screen just rotated the view instead of moving the viewer to the new location. Something this broken should never, ever make it out the door.
- b0afc375b5 6y agoI attended a webinar from a famous e-commerce platform. They mentioned that they no longer have QA and make use of CI/CD pipelines (edit: canary deployment, feature flags, etc.) to move fast and break things. I assumed that everyone else no longer has QA and just pushes emergency fixes in a JIT fashion. I also assumed that our company is traditional and backwards for still having QA.
