    Expensive contractors, take responsibility for your work!

    Don't write a load of code and then hand it over to the testers and say "i think it works" and put responsibility on the testers as to whether or not release your stuff. Test it to F. Then hand it over. Know it works. Be responsible.

      So you also think testers are a waste of space?

        No don't. Just hand it to me and let me send an invoice for testing it.

          Testing is for girls.
          You can lead a fool to wisdom but you can't make him think.

            I wrote it to spec. I tested it to spec. Just because the spec doesnt match the requirement is not my fault.
            I will gladly fix the requirement, spec and code so that it actualy works, but it will cost you.
            I am not qualified to give the above advice!

            Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time

              It certainly pays for Mrs Tester’s shoe collecting habit.

                Code shouldn't be part of the build until it has passed all of the test cases. Only then does it get to the deploy and test phase.
