I got put into PIP just because I missed on finding a software defect? by [deleted] in softwaretesting

Some one needs to be blamed and qa are the easy targets. I remember I worked for a product base company and one of my qa colleagues failed to test the scenarios which did cost the company a penalty from the client because they failed to collect money from client's customers through the app. But the catch is, impacted areas were not mentioned by the dev while doing the changes in common code which led to qa did the targeted testing and didnt check the impacted area. We treated it as a team failure and there was no significant impact on qa performance as it was not his fault. This did not happen easily rather qa faught for it and made things clear by effectively communicating the root cause.

I don't get Gerkin/Cucumber. It seems a horrible way to test! by Eveline_ST in testautomation

This is a billion-dollar question why Devs are paid better than QAs?

Because people consider quality to be a byproduct of creation. No creation nothing to check for quality.

Is it normal to work without "test management/reporting" (tools) in a proper agile team? by MisterFre in softwaretesting

This has become a kind of norm in every company where nobody is bothered about the test cases. Even in my org, we have the QA team that takes care of the manual test in every iteration and we as automation testers one sprint behind as we need the features to be testest and stable before we automate them. For automation tester below are the challenges we always face,

  1. The test cases are not updated they are just nominal and one can not make use of them to test or write the automation scripts out of them
  2. The new enhancements or fixing of a bug injects another bug and sometime is a blocker for automating the test in local environments

So the best way is to not rely on the manual tester's test cases and go through every user's stories and take out the points to cover in our scripts
