Couldn't agree with this more; especially:

>So echoing that scaling issue into your test documentation is a huge mistake.

and

> QA has a crappy reputation because it's slow, ponderous, and often not very effective. Maybe part of that is because people are updating overly-detailed docs all the time because other people have told them they should, rather than because they really need to.

I started my career in QA and moved over to Dev, then back to QA, and now back to Dev. One thing that frustrates me most as a Dev about QA folks that I've worked with is their insistence that the script is God, not the right functioning of the application to serve the customer/user. Often that comes down to these two issues.
