Both of the authors are Web developers with a deep interest in software quality and automated testing. Etsy has followed the same software quality model as Facebook: a dedicated testing team, but no dedicated manual QA team. See also http://b.qr.ae/hJVb4W Etsy's engineering culture puts great emphasis on personal responsibility and taking pride in the quality of one's work. Because of that, no, there has never yet been a problem with people taking tests offline simply so they could deploy. The issue is more that tests "wear out" over time and need to be either rewritten, replaced or discarded (for more on this phenomenon see Boris Beizer and his "pesticide paradox"). |
