...the engineering team? I'm confused by this idea that engineering teams are not responsible for software quality. Who else would be?
My experience with separate QA teams was not encouraging. They dramatically slowed down releases while failing to catch bugs. Their capability to automate was poor, so they were doing manual testing that provided little coverage especially compared to our comprehensive submit-blocking unit and integration tests.
That sounds like a conflict of interest in practice.
Who's ass is responsible when a dev team starts missing coverage in their tests, like happened here?
