> Yet another team that seems to think the programmers should QA their own code. That phrasing is a bit different than what I think they meant. Programmers familiar with the problem domain should QA the code of other programmers is how I took it. I've never seen the value in "pure" QA people largely because you need to be a developer to be an effective QA person [writing automated, repeatable tests] at which point you are just looking to use the developers that are more meticulous than the others to write those tests. They are still ultimately software developers / programmers / whatever. Its just the problem domain they spend half their time on is QA instead of Ops or whatever else. Maybe I'm just used to being part of an IT department embedded in a larger company where we tend to mix a couple things in a single position. :P
