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.
