Technical testing still leaves a lot of potential issues with business rules, UX etc…
Comment on I can't pay rent because devs just don't care
thedruid@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoYou don’t test your own code as well?

But you can validate the business rules with the people that make them: the business or your users?
I get some companies do things pretty fucking backwards and QA as a separate function is harmful, pointless and should be abandoned.
However, I don’t see how anyone from QA is going to physically stop your from testing and validating your code. As a dev, you could be more proactive in understanding what you’re building, why you’re building it, and how to make sure it works and it does what your stakeholders/users need it to do.
If you don’t, then refer to OP’s post.

Oh I get that. Just sounded like passing all testing responsibilities off to others.

I write tests and test my own code, but we also have UAT tests that are completed by others independently. Complex systems with lots of moving parts require lots of testing.
