"Many software companies have no formal quality assurance strategy, and those that do take one of two inherently flawed approaches: Either they (a) ask developers to do QA or (b) delegate QA to a siloed team, whether it’s internal or outsourced.

[B]oth approaches are deeply flawed. [B]oth options create misaligned incentives, lead to finger pointing, waste expensive employee time, reduce job satisfaction, and slow down release schedules."
