Why do we have QA ?

This is an article that I do not agree with entirely.

It is nice to read and realize the obvious need of having a QA Team, but in order to have a professional QA team you need people with experience, dedicated and involved ones. This means QA is a process and only years of activity will lead a QA to become what is expected out of him / her, the rest is just luck.

I do not agree with hiring temporary QA team members, this can cause unaffordable expenses, waste of time to train them and bad team dynamics.

I do not agree that good QA Team members are not that committed to a company: how else you become valuable and familiarized with that company’s methodologies and specific projects.

I guess all these opinions came up out of some negative experiences the author had..
