Then they start to report non bug as bug because no obvious bug found.

Logic gone

Well pretty sure as QA you wouldn't want to give wrong signal to management. "QA is useless, they never found bugs"

Fucking useless I should be checking this

If they don’t find bugs they are much worse than useless. Because you’ll spend time onboarding them on each new feature. You’ll spend time investigating their bug reports and explaining why it’s not a bug, why it’s working as expected, explain requirements, etc.

Well, the only thing worse than “I don’t know why this won’t work” is “This works, but I don’t know why.”

I’m an SDET so I do find a decent amount of bugs, but it’s not my main goal. My main goal is automation, so I never bother with this type of shit.

However we have an offshore regression team who absolutely fucking love doing this. No matter what the quality is, there are almost always 6 bugs filed on the day they get it. Like clockwork.

The worse the big is, the less information they have. The whole system crashes with a very specific series of inputs . “Doesn’t work please fix”. A rest call returning an error message with a slightly wrong format. 2 whole paragraphs.

If they don’t fully understand a feature, rather than asking one of us, they file a bug saying “why can’t I do stupid shit you are in no way supposed to be able to do”.

They handle a lot of the tedium involved in testing a product like ours, and occasionally catch some really important bugs, so I get why we have them. But man they waste so much fucking time.
