Is the question "do you have testers" obsolete - should it be "do you have tests?" I'd personally rather work at a place that has tests vs. testers.

- postfuturist 14y agoTests are important, as are dedicated QA engineers.
- tomjen3 14y agoHow do you test that your gui works correctly when the user is running ie6? How do you write a test to ensure that animations are smooth?
- shpiel 14y agoSelenium can handle a lot of gui issues with different browsers. There are also tools to compare images (could be used with screenshots). Yes ultimately you need human eyes and on the product. It also helps to have someone with a QA mentality, who has a developed intuition for breaking things and finding edge cases. But rigorous use of automated testing, code review, and dogfooding greatly reduces the need for dedicated QA.
