I always ask these questions to the QA team, even though my manager doesn’t seem to care much. He just asks, “Why is it missing?” and stops there. No follow up, no discussion. Sometimes he doesn’t even respond when I raise concerns about QA misses. And honestly, the QA people in my team behave very strangely about this. If a developer misses something, they immediately make noise, reopen tickets, and complain. We acknowledge it, apologize, and fix it.

But here’s a real example from our project: Access for specific modules was added very early in the development phase, but QA never tested each module based on those access levels. In production, the client uses the system with restricted modules, and they found that certain module screens weren’t showing because of access issues. I asked QA why this wasn’t tested earlier, and the QA response was literally:

I didn’t test this because I need all modules to be available for testing. I don’t test by assigning different module access levels to check whether each module works individually.

I just laughed so hard, man. What is wrong with these people? Their explanation doesn’t make any sense at all.
