Quality engineering is a fun, nebulous concept.

How’s your AI transformation going?

Warning – this is an old man shouts at cloud sort of post.

https://programmerhumor.io/programming-memes/some-project-managers/ Spoiler – project driven quality engineering doesn’t work and you are inflicting damage on QE/QA/testing professionals if you are in charge and think it does.

Maybe this fits in that special category of simple concepts that are fiendishly difficult to actually achieve.

I don’t know when this started, or when I started to notice it, but so many bugs, tickets, pull requests and other artefacts of our work in software are signed off with: Looks Good to Me or even: LGTM Or even nothing at all.

I have to be careful here, lest I fall into the trap of labelling the tool as the problem, when I know it’s not.

I have made a career from doing glue work.

When I first became a tester, the company I worked for had found one of the many ways of building software that encouraged bugs in their thousands of all shapes and sizes.
