        Trick tests, like, for tech support newcomers we have a table with a display and spare pc parts and tell them to make it boot.
        They assemble it with all the confidence in the world until they push the power button and the pc does frick all, no screen image, no leds, no beeps. That's when the majority start to sweat and panic moving ram, reconnecting the hdd, asking if the cable works, etc. Only like 5% suspect the psu is bad and only 1% asked for a paperclip. That's how I got hired, I'm now in networking.

        Nah it's the users that are the problem all QA does is make sure features work as described in the tickets. We get support emails from morons all the time saying they can't understand/use basic features it ends up being passed along to the UX guy who then has to make everything bloated and have more pages/button presses etc because normal people are subhumans who can't understand how to use basic applications

          I guess you haven't had QA who doesn't understand anything and asks the dev to explain their interpretation of the requirement for every ticket.

        It's impossible as QA has no actual responsibility or accountability
        QA however can make devs lives hell by making ominous sounding but poorly documented and impossible to reproduce bug reports that make managers freak the frick out, and devs will tear their hair out to repro the shitty bug tickets.

        QA are shitters and always will be shitters

            No you can't. QA is the ultimate cheatcode. They hire morons who don't know anything, don't have to learn anything and make like 80% of what devs do. If they quit the only thing they'd be able to do is flip burgers.

        IQfy is full of perma NEETs who never worked a day confirmed. QA is your friend, not foe. I sleep better every night knowing my software went through rounds of rigorous automated and manual testing. Especially when the project is 7 years old and made by multiple people who don't work in the company anymore.

    Randomize behaviour. Make it work correctly almost all of the time and break on occasionally. You'll probably need some check to disable this behaviour when deployed. Hiding this well and making it look accidental can be tricky, though.

    1. Ensure that the team is spread globally with developers and qa being on different continents

    2. There should be at least 5 product managers per product. They should never communicate. It helps if at lest 3 of them don't know how to use the product and one should have a wild 'vision' for what the product should do that's totally different to what the product is for.

    3. Product manager culture should be one of complete paranoia. Every new feature no matter how small should require a full three week regression cycle. Every customer issue should be critical. QA's should be on call 24/7

    4. Insist on using JIRA align. QA's should be paid purely according to how many bugs they find. All tickets should be painstakingly bureaucratised in the most asinine way possible. Every bug should be marked as wont do or should be linked to an issue that's been open for 8 years.

    5. The code should never be static. If it's a webapp it should be built to be completely dynamic with no stationary parts. 85 layers of react contexts powering 20 layers of embedded iframes rendering a separately deployed angular app. api access should use websockets to push messages to rabbitmq which fires lambdas that generate graphiql queries that connect to a spring app with mandatory filters managed by 14 teams in 8 timezones.

    6. Everyone in the QA management should be really opinionated about what qa process is and should do weekly shitty linkedin posts about the 'testing pyramid' in a strong Bengali accent despite their product being a flaming carousel of shit

    Don't document anything. Ask QA to come up with the documentation a few days before release, without telling them anything about the feature. Merge entire features without writing a single test, just assume it works. Leave QA to discover syntax errors in your code. Bugfixes should have no comments and the commit should just reference an empty ticket with a title like "Bug causing UI to fail". Add petty comments to bug reports like asking for details about library versions, random system logs, works on my machine etc. If QA manage to discover you're a hack fraud always claim it was an obscure edge case that nobody would run into.
