Why have QA at all?

Why do companies hire QA's ?

Aside from regression testing and UI testing, QA's seem to always require full time assistant of engineers before testing, during testing, and after testing.

Well, today I think I've found the answer. QA, to put it in words that would normally not be used on them, is the group that assuages the Executive and Managements' paranoia and distrust for the Engineers.

They know the Engineers aren't getting paid what they should be paid for their best service, why would they expect them to provide such service? Adding QA, who looks best when discovering the most bugs, will provide a black box counter solution to an existing black box solution to the business need.


Very cool!!
