| Apr 15, 2019 at 11:20 | comment | added | Joe | @JuliaHayward We’re not very good as a organization when it comes to automated testing. We have a set for our core product that runs automatically on a regular basis, but for customer specific things are a lot more freeform and not well tracked by management. Lots of oral tradition between people. As for reliance on Bob himself, there is not much, other than that there is nobody else on the team currently available to take his place on this project. | |
| Apr 15, 2019 at 7:54 | comment | added | Fiora the Ferret | Just how reliant are you on Bob? His role should include producing automated tests to cover regressions, at the very least - is there anything measurable to show that he's not doing that? A hunch isn't good enough - and he could equally well be blaming you saying "Joe keeps sending me buggy code"... | |

| Apr 12, 2019 at 19:59 | comment | added | Joe | @JoeStrazzere Because Bob's boss doesn't agree and was sitting right there, and I didn't feel like saying "I disagree with Charlene; I think Bob needs to be fired for this project to succeed", instead sticking with the party line of "this problem was caused by inexperienced employees being attached to the project." Which is correct and true but does not illustrate Bob's problems | |

| Apr 10, 2019 at 18:06 | comment | added | my_mistakes | The important parts to me are such: Alice (SWE) works with Bob (QA)on a project for a long time client The past few releases have been more buggy than previous iterations. You suspect Bob is not doing his job, while Bob is claiming innocence, due to not knowing what tests to run. You bring the issue up with Charlene she dismisses it. David who manages Charlene asks you directly if there are issues with staffing, you decline to disagree with Charlene. Question: Did you do the right thing by not disagreeing with Charlene? | |

| Apr 9, 2019 at 19:19 | comment | added | Joe | @mcknz I will think about how to do that and revise the question accordingly. | |

| Apr 8, 2019 at 22:56 | comment | added | mcknz | This is a bit long and I think not all of the detail is needed -- can you condense? Also your questions seem to be to be broad and the answers opinion-based. Is there something more defined and objective you could ask from what's here? | |
