Software Engineering is one of the few knowledge working areas where you can actually test the result in various ways as a layman. You can flush the toilet before paying the plumber to a large extent and hire another counter-team called QA. QA themselves are tested by future production bugs.
In other disciplines it is way more fuzzy. If you are in the conclusion business and there isn’t a clear path to test your conclusion in the short term you can bullshit away!
- icedchai 4y agoUnfortunately, I haven't worked at a company with dedicated QA in the past 5+ years, maybe longer. QA is often seen as a side job for engineers and product teams.
- quickthrower2 4y agoOh! Dedicated QA makes a big difference, especially when they take leadership and are willing to get involved in lets call it qa-ops: improving automated testing and such like.
