So there would be nothing to test, ergo, bug free.

Suity, why don't you start up a school of Suitydom to teach programming and project management? Lots of testers might be persuaded to invest in it!

Originally posted by original PM View Postpotentially but in my agile world a test team consists of testers and developers - so you test and remove bugs on the fly
I watched 3 weeks worth of testing get wasted because the teams involved insisted on strict waterfall but they found a bug early on which stopped much of the testing
however because testing was not complete they could not move into re-work
crazy!

Originally posted by Barley View PostI dont agree, its not the test teams responsibilty to ensure the product is bug free. It is their responsibility to show the presence of defects (bugs) against test criteria and coverage. Even then is almost impossible to ensure the product is bug free.
Its not the test teams job to make a product work nor ensure that defects are resolved. Test teams test against criteria and report the results and provide further guidance, impact and risk assessment. Its the project teams responsibility to make decisions based on this, e.g. go, no-go, fix in next phase / implement live workaround etc

Originally posted by original PM View PostSorry yes I do not expect all bugs to be found what I expect is that all various user stories, business processess etc etc etc have been tested and found to work.
if bugs exist elsewhere then yes they will not be found.
however for me it is still down to the test phase to ensure the product is bug free based on the agreed test criteria
