At present many different people work at a software development project. It involves programmers, experts in manual and automated testing, domain knowledge specialists, managers, etc. Unfortunately, all these people are not always on the same page.

Often misunderstandings relate to results of mobile application testing, desktop testing, web site testing. Quality assurance team may be blamed for defects in the software product that appear after the release, delay of the product release and other problems.

As a matter of fact, responsibility for the application quality rests with all the project members.

Test engineers should discuss with other project members software testing goals and the project peculiarities. The discussion helps to avoid many misunderstandings, streamlines the testing process and helps to save time and efforts.

Testers Should Clarify:

tasks of the testing process;
