I always had the attitude that QA is helping me make my program better. In the end I get the credit for writing the program anyway, and QA just helps make me look good. Nobody ever thanks QA.
What I always hate is after ship when the customers run into something then everybody starts asking how QA missed that, without bothering to notice that QA was writing 5 bugs per person per day for the whole project. How’d we miss it, we were busy with other bugs.
Oh well, that’s life. It’s nice when the bugs out in the field are minor.
