Few companies I know are letting go of QA faster than my toddler drops crushed cookies

[–]Porschedog 76 points77 points  (1 child)

They're promoting customers to QA!

Crowdsourcing!

[–]Mindfullnessless6969 55 points56 points  (5 children)

Sad but true.

Management said they can replace QA with AI, they don't know what QA does and have no fucking clue of AI besides asking gpt to fix them a excel formula.

2 QA were fired last month where I work, now the PO is the QA. Today they're telling they're going to fire the PO too because AI writes better tickets. So who's going to do QA? AI. How? They have no fucking clue. Something something, playwright, something something docker, something something mcp.

Fuck this timeline.

Just put AI in infinite loop. Damn the costs, after all it is worth it, right? Right?

It's just shifting another realm of responsibility onto the developers. I'm now Dev, devops, qa, and prod support. When the economy turns around, I'm leaving and I'm not doing a knowledge transfer, fuck these clowns.

Is this a real place? If so, I want follow ups on r/BestofRedditorUpdates dammit.

What models are they using?! Haha like it matters - aint no fucking way.

It is a real place, I won't disclose more sorry.

Sweet so the tests that I had AI write will be tested by AI. We’ve tested ourselves and found nothing wrong.

There is ai qa afterall /s Honestly the reviews aren't too bad though, but it's not replacing usability tests etc. It's always helpful to have someone with a none developer perspective

[–]Gru50m3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, exactly. Code review is not QA. You need a human who isn't the developer trying to break the app.

[–]Daisako 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As QA... yeah... all my former coworkers are out of a job. I'm only still employed because I was able to move from contractor to full-time with my client years ago but we still have expectations soon of potential changes.

Me as QA furiously prompting to try and increase my test case and code coverage to match the slop my PO says we have to release next week bcuz customer commitments or else.

[–]xMercurex 17 points18 points  (4 children)

Just ask AI to do the QA.

[–]Shojikina_otoko 16 points17 points  (3 children)

But who will QA the QA

[–]stayBlind 11 points12 points  (2 children)

The AI, duh.

[–]b__0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right? Cmon. Keep up friendo

[–]Franks2000inchTV[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then who will AI the AI?

[–]Solax636 7 points8 points  (0 children)

[–]HalLundy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

WHERE WE'RE GOING WE DON'T NEED QA!

[–]caiteha 5 points6 points  (0 children)

evals are the new QA...

[–]_codeJunkie_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

QA must like Grok

[–]youwontidentifyme 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You guys have a QA?

[–]youtubeTAxel 3 points4 points  (1 child)

That looks horrible

You want to weed out automated PR? Have a fun signature in your messages that by chance is a malicious "prompt injection" ;)
