        We have people who write automated test cases but refuse to test manually, so don't understand why their automated cases keep failing.

        We have people who write manual test cases, but don't ever actually execute tests so their test cases are damn near impossible to execute given constraints of limited time and a limited number of hands and eyes.

        Then we have people like me (actually just one of me and a dev) who actually test and basically ignore all the tulip produced by the two test teams I have just described.

        Apparently it all complies with CMMi; oh well that's alright then.
        Some PMs and deployment people here have heard the term "unit testing" and developed an obsession with it without understanding anything about it. Now nothing gets tested anymore, now it gets unit tested, even though there's not a unit in sight

          I got away with it and said there was a lack of process, however I made a diving save and fixed the issue

            Ah yes, and then combine it with the latest silver bullet from the 'continuous integration' gurus.

            For the last 20 years I've heard people saying that testers will be unnecessary due to perfect unit testing and automation; there's probably more demand for testers than ever in this country.

                Might be a tad overkill, given that a lot of things are vac packed together

                    Unit testing and CI are good things but I see them as part of development, not testing. Here, they're talking about sending something over to testing to be unit tested. I've given up saying "Um, that's not unit testing, it's just testing"
