Elisabeth is the author of the article they may have been unknowingly quoting: “Better Testing, Worse Quality.”
- switchbak 3y agoI don't think so, I don't know the exact article they were referencing but it was definitely post-2000. I think something more along the lines of this: https://www.forrester.com/blogs/11-02-17-want_better_quality_fire_your_qa_team/ https://www.forrester.com/blogs/11-02-17-want_better_quality... It was a very strawman argument, as if we could only have a 90's style split where QA only did testing, or you could have modern developer testing and no QA. I think modern dev testing + exploratory testing is the best I've experienced, but it has been challenging to explain that. Software organizations are imperfect places, and sometimes it's hard to push against popular trends.
