QA Hates You

Larry O’Brien in his SD Times column:

I have a new client experiencing 500% annual growth and just going through 100,000 transactions per month. The folks there brought me in to take a look at their stability and scalability. When I contacted their development team, I discovered that not only did they lack a load-testing plan, but they also had no automated testing. They didn’t even have production, staging and development deployments; the programmers develop on the live site. The first words from their IT guy when I asked about the deployment architecture were, “You aren’t going to believe this….”

Alleluia, brother!  I believe!
